Combining a pop sensibility akin to Warhol, the obsessiveness of Joseph Conell, a visual density echoing Robert Rauschenberg and an acute wit all of his own, Rawas's work is haunting, surprising, and seductive at once.' Helena Reckitt, Director of Exhibitions, Atlanta Contemporary Art Centre 'Open to multiple perspectives, Rawas's works suggest simultaneously both a critique of institutions and linear models of progress and an equally powerful wariness of the belief in nature as an ideal uncontaminated condition.'
