Engineer-come-artist Ray Piscopo, who found fame on the local and international art scenes through his distinctive representation of the world around him, is having two exhibitions next month.

The two-part series will take place at the Banca Giuratale in Gozo between December 7 and December 28, and at the Cavalieri Art Hotel in St Julian’s between December 12 and January 13.

Entitled Abstract Rhythms in Nature, these two exhibitions aim to explore the subject through a simple, pictorial language that transforms and transcends nature, giving every-day objects, natural scenes and people a geometrically-complex but easy-to-understand nature.

“I have been working on the material for these two exhibitions for over a year now, and I’m incredibly pleased with the outcome,” says Mr Piscopo, who, on top of being an artist himself, curates the highly-successful Artist of the Month series at the Orange Grove Art Café within the Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa in Attard.

The first part of the exhibition, which will take place in Gozo, consists of 12 large canvases representing the Cittadella panorama and other figurative themes.

The second part of the exhibition will take place nearly concurrently in Malta consisting of 15 large canvasses with figurative themes, along with 10 smaller-sized abstracts.

Then, on the closure of the first part of the exhibition, the canvases on display at the Banca Giuratale will be transferred to the Cavalieri Art Hotel to unite the two distinct-yet-complementing ideologies. Anyone who loves Maltese traditions and nature, as well as art lovers, culture vultures and local art collectors, are encouraged to visit these two exhibitions.
