Exhibition of Christian Urpani's mosaics

Proceeds in Aid of the Richmond Foundation

Kate Gonzi, Deputy Chairperson of the Richmond Foundation, is to open an exhibition of mural mosaics by Christian Urpani in the exhibition area on Level 1 at Le Méridien St Julians Hotel & Spa on Wednesday, 9 June. Proceeds from the exhibition will be donated to the Richmond Foundation.

Urpani is to exhibit some 50 of his latest works dating back to the past two years. Each piece is totally different and unique since he uses unlikely combinations of materials and textures for his work, which is framed and ready to be hung. Apart from obtaining inspiration from nature, he is also au courant with contemporary modern art trends, in line with the requisites of interior design.

Mark Sagona - Exhibition

The latest collection of paintings, entitled Nocturne, by Gozitan artist Mark Sagona was inaugurated on Saturday 6th March by Professor Mario Buhagiar at Le Meridien St Julians Hotel & Spa (Exhibition Area, Level 1). This is Sagona’s seventh personal exhibition to date which follows his last important show at the National Museum of Fine Arts, Valletta in 2008.

The twenty semi-abstract acrylic canvases, all produced in 2010, are inspired by the beauty and magic of nocturnal light in various spots around the Maltese Islands. They continue to emphasise Sagona’s fascination with light which has featured in various of his personal exhibitions.

Professor Buhagiar, Head of the Department of History of Art at the University of Malta, who also wrote a short note for the exhibition brochure comments that Sagona “has earned good repute as an artist destined to leave his mark on Maltese Art of the first decades of the 21st century”.
