Fouad Jawhar
Allah Akbar
1985
Watercolor on paper
57 x 42 cm
Ranging from city scenes with pedestrians, historic architectural landscapes to calligraphy rich with patterns, Jawhar details his work with a masterful precision. The delicately painted watercolor “Allah Akbar” skillfully layers and bleeds the soft colors while depicting graffiti-like text and symbols on a cracked stone wall.
