His chair sculpture, currently on display at the as part of the City’s new Public Art Program, is an extremely popular piece, drawing continuous commentary from staff and visitors to the newly renovated City Hall.  

“My artwork is about communication visually documenting the process of thought,” said Deeb. “I strive to push myself to question the barriers created by my own viewpoint. I cannot accept traditional subject matter, materials or questions.” Deeb’s work is a continuum of fragments of shapes and colors, with “dreamlike snapshots morphing details” which combine to make unique, abstract statements.
