Exhibition I visited-Alfred Chircop

I also visited an exhibition that the art pieces are made by Alfred Chircop his exhibition was displayed at the Auberge d’Italie, Merchants street in Valetta. The date I visited this exhibition was on the 8 th march 2013. The exhibition didn’t have a name but the painting that there were all abstract with lots of colors. The exhibition was dedicated to the memory of Fr.Peter Serracino Inglott.  His work is done on canvas.

This is one work that I liked during the exhibition visit that I went in Valletta.

My opinion

I choose this work from all the exhibition because I find it interesting how color full the painting is and also how the artist made the form of the face in the painting. We can  see a  lot  of  formal  elements  such  at  the lines  where  most of them  are going  in the same direction  and they  are straight.

This is the close up of the painting I saw during the exhibition visit at Valletta.

 In my opinion

This painting is made by Alfred Chircop where  I chose to talk  about  it because  It made with an interesting texture also  I  like the colors  how they combined together. It also  has been made  by using other materials in this painting such as  maybe be sand also it looks like there is a piece of wood stuck on the canvas where these things  give the interest on this abstract  colorful painting. As formal elements we can see a lot the shapes there are a lot of shapes that are like circle but  also  we can see the contrast  of the colors and also  the lines how some  lines  are straight  but some  of them looks  more as  coming into curves lines. The texture on this  painting  looks  rough because  of it  looks  that there is  the sand  so it  shows  you that  it  looks  rough.

This is another one of the works that I liked during the exhibition visit that I went in Valletta.

In my opinion

The artist looks that he used a different tool instead of paint brush it looks that the artist used the pallet knife to make the orange lines. I noticed that because of how the strokes are given. As formal elements we can see a lot the lines which some of them are straight and also looks flat but also looks thick. As color it looks that they match and have a nice contrast to each other and we can also see some rough texture where there are the strokes that are made with the pallet knife.

In my opinion

I choose this painting because it has an interesting thing in the painting. If we see deeply in this painting we see a figure of a woman we only see the head of the woman.  Which I also have the close up of the part I liked most in this painting. The artist used a lot of colors in this painting which makes the painting interesting. We also can see the contrast and also the thinking of how the artist matched the colors. As formal elements we can see a lot the lines which there are some lines that are straight but also some lines that are not completed. The texture also gives the interest in the painting. We can see that there are some rough texture which is done by the paint itself.

In my opinion

This painting inspired me because the artist didn’t focus only on the colorful paintings but he also focused on the black and white colors but he also added some brownish color and the painting came more interesting and nicer.  As the texture it looks rough where there is the white paint but we also can see the smooth part where there is the brown paint. As the lines we can see that there are straight lines which some of them are solid black and also we can see that there are lines that are not completed and some of the lines are also dotted.
