’The Cappuccino Brigade’ is Debbie Caruana Dingli’s ninth solo exhibition that showcases vibrant watercolour paintings executed in the last few months. Each quirky and witty cartoon-like watercolour tells a story in a simple yet effective way. The characters represented are based on Debbie’s own observations of the native Maltese population whose gestures and features are amplified for greater effect. Apart from being a renowned watercolourist, Debbie Caruana Dingli is an astute portraitist who also works in other media.
