take me home

A debut solo show by UK-based Maltese illustrator and designer, iella (Daniela Attard), focusing on leaving home, long-distance relationships, life in constant transit and the phases in-between. Taking place in Malta, London, and Sydney, this exhibition will travel to key places that inspired and pivoted the work produced. Works will differ slightly between the three shows, although some core pieces will show in all three exhibitions. The work will feature highly detailed figurative work rendered primarily in pencil, along with a selection of sketchbooks and travel sketches. This project is supported by the Malta Arts Fund

Twilight Zone – Between Analogue and Digital Media

Adopting digital reproduction techniques for the purposes of artistic creation, this event aims to create a project about light which presents fire not from a thermal stance, but from a visual perspective. Malta is a place where the tradition of fireworks lives on. We read this as a way of drawing pleasure from communing with the energy and vigour of light. ARTISTS: Tomasz Dobiszewski (Poland), Zsolt Gyenes (Hungary), Robert Sochacki (Poland), Matyou Galea (Malta), Matthew Attard (Malta), Eric Souther (USA), Shusaku Kaji (Japan), not a Number Group (Poland)

Anthropos

This collective exhibition – including the work of Mario Abela, Victor Agius and Tony Briffa – is inhabited by undefined shapes, strange creatures, and ghosts that with its powerful indifference makes us consider who we really are and what we are creating or, perhaps even more, what we are destroying. Mario Abela participates with large paintings referring to a time where humans started to impact the planet’s climate and ecosystems. Victor Agius focuses on earthy elements with sculptures made from organic materials, reminding the fragility of nature and humanity. Briffa puts the cherry on the cake with his three-dimensional creatures that appear to jump from a fantasy land directly into the Arthall show.

Where: Arthall: 8 Triq Agius de Soldanis, Victoria, Gozo.

When: Wednesday to Saturday: 10-1pm and 5-7pm & Sunday: 10-12

64a, Flat 1

For Burlὸ and Lydia, 64a Flat 1 became the site that collated their separate and complimentary interpretations of Gozo. Here they set up a studio overlooking Marsalforn valley that gradually turned greener as autumn moved to winter. Prior to the pandemic, Lydia’s figurative oil painting took her from London to Florence to Samoa, where she painted on location and from life. Deprived of life models to work from in 2020, Lydia turned to photography for her figurative references. Swapping the pen and ink of his political cartoons for brush and oils, Burlò’s new body of work still retains his brand of social commentary born from his lived experiences on the island of Gozo.

Where: Arthall: 8 Triq Agius de Soldanis, Victoria, Gozo.

When: Wednesday to Saturday: 10-1pm and 5-7pm & Sunday: 10-12
