'This September Sun' in Art

This September Sun (Catherine Phillips)

'Nothing is Certain' is an exhibition of twelve experimental abstract paintings by Catherine Phillips based on book titles. The exhibition, which is part of a wider project celebrating books and libraries, is at Putney Library, Disraeli Road, in London until 27th April 2018.

One of the paintings is inspired by Bryony Rheam's novel This September Sun, which is published by amaBooks in Zimbabwe, by Parthian Books in the United Kingdom, by Longhorn in Kenya and, soon, by Al Arabi in Arabic.

The Zimbabwean cover of the book is based on a painting by the Zimbabwean artist Jeanette Johnstone.

The books celebrated in the exhibition are:

Designing with Natural Forms by Natalie d’Arbeloff

Good Morning, Midnight by Jean Rhys

Rhapsody in Green by Charlotte Mendelsohn

Spirals in Time by Helen Scales

Sunquakes by J. B. Zirker

The Blazing World by Siri Hustvedt
