THREAD
Collective Exhibition
23rd Sep - 17th Oct 2022
@ il-Kamra ta' Fuq
The exhibition features three artists - Ebru Cinar, Stefan Spiteri, Bernice Vassallo - who experiment a lot with the use of thread in their oeuvre. Apart from this medium, they are also bound by the thematic of nature and organic forms which are almost always present in their works.
Lost in the Ether
by Nicole Sciberras Debono
19th Aug - 12th Sept 2022
@ il-Kamra ta' Fuq
To be ‘lost in the ether’, is to say that one is engrossed in a communication or visual that has no fixture in space or time; it has no precise location or context. Sciberras Debono brings forward esoteric narratives of a domestic familiarity, with notes on online and para-social relationships, and the reflections of a young woman in a contemporary society.

Harboured
by Sarah Calleja

@ il-Kamra ta' Fuq
In these works, Sarah Calleja attempts to capture the aura of the Grand Harbour area. She chose to work with a restricted palette with some works using only one colour and others using five colours. Painting only the essence, eliminating most detail, in a mass of colour a sliver of light, often using wisely the white paper.
ECOTOPIAS
by Roderick Camilleri

@ il-Kamra ta' Fuq
This body of works portrays Camilleri's artistic research linked to materiality and experimental processes.

A Midsummer's Red Dream
22nd June - 17th July 2022
@ BOCO Boutique Hotel
The subject matter for the first exhibition at BOCO is bound only to these three inspiring and intriguing words. We aim to have an exhibition tied with the colour red, while the various artists are invited to express in vague or concrete ways an atmosphere of a dreamy summer, or… a contradiction to that.
Noli
by Anabel Cordina
20th May - 13th June 2022

Noli (Hide and Seek) is a collection of woodcut monoprints exploring the playful nature of Art as a continuous unveiling process, of that which is hidden and the search for the not so obvious. Noli acts as a metaphor for the latent energy present in introspective moments whereby in solitude, the will to seek is renewed.
