A Land As Big As Her SkinArnolfini Gallery, BristolHHHHHBORN in 1978 in civil war-torn Lebanon, Mounira Al Solh’s eclectic work has been dominated by her response to destruction, displacement and the abuse of power, and how life can go in such conditions. Neither oppressive nor tragic, her art, full of exuberant colour and vitality and utilising traditions and materials from the Middle East and the Netherlands, is a way of expressing her feelings, and a form of therapy.
