In a bold departure from the traditional gallery setting, local artist James Vella Clark will be exhibiting his latest collection of abstract expressionist works at FORM’s home showroom located in Valley Road.
His latest body of work aims to ignite a conversation about the intersection of art and living spaces, and how art can be present in our daily moments.
Themed NEW FORMS, the exhibition of 16 large new paintings on canvas will be inaugurated later this November, inviting viewers to rediscover how art can seamlessly integrate into personal spaces to offer daily reminders of the enduring beauty in our lives.
Drawing inspiration from the words of French poet Charles Baudelaire, who defined being modern as the ability to capture the spirit of one’s era and impact contemporaries through art, Vella Clark has embarked on a new journey to encapsulate new forms of expression within the context of today’s current societal shifts and transitions.
“Exhibiting my work in a home interiors showroom might seem unconventional, but with this exhibition at FORM I want to elevate the way we perceive art in our homes as an immersive experience that resonates deeply with the essence of our times,” he explained.
“These works are not only about my continuous pursuit of artistic freedom, but should also serve as a testament to the enduring beauty of art in an ever-changing world.”
He also intends the works to serve an invitation to acknowledge that the freedom that art brings with it, is best embraced in the freedom of our homes.
James Vella Clark made his artistic debut in 2001 with his first solo exhibition “Beyond Perspectives” followed by several solo exhibitions in Malta, and abroad namely in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia and New York.
