Dreaming of Palestine
paintings by
Adib Fattal
Exhibiting for the first time in the United States, Syrian artist Adib Fattal’s graphic works at the Jerusalem Fund Gallery colorfully interpret the Arab world. People, architecture and nature are fitted together in an intricate mosaic of color and form that creates an image of life and movement greater than the sum of its parts. His interpretations of life include city scenes, village festivals, goat and rabbit races—all painted with a vibrancy that exposes the character and culture of Arab life as a vigorous presence in the world. At present, Fattal lives on a farm in Syria at the foot of Mount Hermon with a dog, cat and a clever parrot.
