A painting exhibition by Lewis Zammit, entitled Passages, opened yesterday at the main hall of St James Cavalier, Valletta. It runs until February 18.
Passages features over 30 abstract paintings by the artist produced over a period of eight years. The main medium used is oil paint on board of various sizes and formats.
The artist said this was an invitation to a visual experience that gives one a sense of spiritual freedom. Each painting endeavours to open a window on the infinite and the boundless, where space and form co-exist anomalously in a way which is intangible but which will lead you to venture within.
Mr Zammit's paintings can be found in various local public and personal collections as well as in England, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, the US and Australia.
Mr Zammit works as a visual art educator at the St Michael Foundation for Education, San Gwann.
