A new collective exhibition exploring nature and organic forms has just landed at the award-winning Il-Kamra ta’ Fuq in Mqabba.

The exhibition kicked off on 23rd September and is running until 17th October, curated by Art Sweven’s Melanie Erixon.

The collective exhibition features the works of artists Ebru Çinar, Stefan Spiteri, and Bernice Vassallo, who have all experimented 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,” Erixon explains.

“Thread has a dual meaning here. It is the main medium in a number of these works which helps in bringing out the organic made up sometimes of figurative leaves and at other times, it is representing a series of paths creating subconscious or conscious fragmented labyrinths, all creating harmonious tangible and intangible, real but surreal spaces.”

“Çinar’s works show complex figurative compositions where thanks to the medium of the thread she’s creating a certain flatness in perspective and an uneasy yet alluring lack of spatiality, which makes the narrative more intriguing and dreamlike.”

“Vassallo’s works on the other hand are very abstract in nature and show mastery of the art of sewing in various experimentations with this material.  The compositions are almost cerebral veins or paths which are intertwining and captivating as much as a labyrinth of delicate yet powerful cobwebs.”

Spiteri on the other hand is exhibiting a series of works titled Lost Trail, with the artist perceiving their work as fragments of a complex network of passages, following no exact route. 

“His works, although not employing the thread as the actual medium, are in themselves creating the bond between the works of the other two artists, where the organic highlighted in the use of leaves and the fascination for the linear executed in oils are in themselves creating a beautiful dialogue between all the works.”
