Sign Language
The series “Sign Language” is made up of twelve paintings of various sizes, Marwan Chamaa explores the possibility of finding a universal language that spans across cultures. This universal language refers to the language of well-known signs and logos that have come to denote a language spoken and understood by all.
Out of gas? The “Shell” logo will guide you to a station, whether in the sub-sahara desert or in Geneva.
This series painted in his signature bold colors and strokes, reiterates Chamaa’s message that we are all, in fact citizens of one world, communicating through a universal sign language that makes sense to all.
