Bernard Hage 

Bernard Hage, commonly known as “The Art of Boo”, is a Lebanese illustrator, musician and political cartoonist based in Berlin.

After initial professional experience in advertising, the artist decided to quit this job in 2012 in order to be able to devote himself solely to his creativity. After surviving his existential crisis, he held his first solo exhibition “Undressed – Society's Reflection in Its Brands” at the Artlab gallery in Beirut in 2014.

His recent book Anatomy of a Hummus Plate, published by Les Editions L'Orient Le Jour in April 2021, is a compilation of satirical cartoons that serves as an introduction to the Lebanese social and political scene and the collapse of Lebanon is documented chronologically and with a dark sense of humor. 

Bernard is best known for his caricatures. Since 2018 he has published weekly in L'Orient Le Jour, the French-language Lebanese daily. His work has been praised by local and international media, as well as popular blogs. He is also the founder of the Beirut creative collective Wormhole.
