Watercolours

Watercolours depicts over 100 watercolour artworks [NB: + a few collages], made between 1972 and 2016, combining painting, collage and sculpture, by Paris-based, Lebanese artist Simone Fattal. These works are preceded by a discussion with artistic director of London’s Serpentine gallery Hans Ulrich Obrist, in which Fattal ruminates on her childhood in Damascus, her publishing company The Post-Apollo Press and other recurring themes that continue to inspire her long-standing affinity with the watercolour medium.
