Draughtswoman and illustrator Sandra Ghosn uses Indian ink to express herself, and her drawings explore social taboos, identity and romantic relationships. One of the new generation of Lebanese illustrators, she moved to France in 2007 after the war between Israel and Hezbollah. She works in particular with the Lebanese collective Samandal.
"For a long time I drew with Indian ink, which I appreciate for its indelible nature, but then I chose a more flexible medium, with graphite and black stone, which caused a paradigm shift: to draw, I often erased" - Sandra Ghosn for OLJ.
She will shortly be exhibiting at Art Montpellier with the gallery representing her, Art Absolument, between 16 and 19 November. Then, on 2 December, she will be taking part in a group show at SEPT in Paris.
In 2024, she will be presenting two new works: a group show in Nogent-le-Rotrou in April, and a solo show in Paris in autumn.
