EXHIBITION

Jolene Cini and Sarah Spiteri , will be exhibiting their abstract work on canvas in an exhibition entitled “Bla Rima”, at Gallarija Liberta GWU Valletta between the 13th June and 13th July 2008 , 8.30am and 7.00 pm .

 

The name for the exhibition was chosen primarily because the work to be exhibited doesn’t match the work amongst the 2 artists and even in one artist’s work the paintings hold different styles. Secondly, the artists being very proud to be Maltese decided to hold the exhibition in Maltese , so they can feature Maltese poems and put up the typical Maltese atmosphere that is being forgotten.

 

About the artists :

 

Sarah Spiteri has a natural uncouth, instinctive need to create spontaneously, always with a sense of immediacy. To a certain extent, being untutored in this field, Sarah has made her own way of developing her thoughts. A typical characteristic of Sarah’s work is applying paint with her nail-bitten fingers, showing off her bubbly character in the way she moves her hands along non-straight lines. The use of natural resources and recycled material proves Sarah’s love and respect towards the environment. Through the art of theatre, Sarah works upon emotions and actions as a result giving the observer the energy to feel what she is imposing in her creative work. To this day Sarah continues to produce her world of imagination on paper, in abstract forms, always delivering a message, an expression of freedom. Sarah hopes that her creative powers and enthusiasm continue to grow and flourish so maybe one day, someone may understand her fantasy.

 

Jolene Cini expresses herself through art. This is shown to us by the type of oil colours she uses and the way they are applied on canvas. Jolene feels comfortable using dark colours like red , blue and purple.These colours are applied by paintbrushes or a knife. One charateristic observed in Jolene’s work is the way she amalgamates the colours together creating a sense of harmony.The brush strokes and application of paint with the knife create a melodious and  spiral movement which give a sense of a rythmatic dance with colours.  Jolene would like to keep on flourishing her love towards art
