Luciano Micallef exhibition opens today

Bank of Valletta is today inaugurating the 15th in its series of retrospective exhibitions, featuring 65 works by artist Luciano Micallef outlining his 40-year career.

The exhibition, with a total of 65 works, is the first to be hosted at the new BOV Centre in Santa Venera.

The exhibition will be officially inaugurated by President Eddie Fenech Adami.

"Luciano Micallef is considered one of the foremost products of his generation in Malta's artistic scene," said BOV chairman Roderick Chalmers.

"The promotion of arts and culture in Malta, and support towards local artistic talent, feature as an important pillar within our Community Programme, which also gives importance to other areas we consider worthy of BOV's support," he added.

The exhibition is open to the public until August 11. As in previous retrospective exhibitions, it is being accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue that includes the artist's biography, a critical synopsis on his works and a reproduction of all the exhibits.
