Artist Victor Agius is exhibiting two works at an international art project named Spam! Cartoline d’Artista being held in Rome this month.

Agius was invited to participate by one of the directors of Sguardo Contemporaneo, a cultural organisation that promotes emerging artists and curates contemporary art projects.

Agius will be exhibiting two small mixed-media paintings on paper inspired by the Arab Spring, named R-Evolution and Syria.

His works include an intervention within pigments which incorporates combustion, a collage of typed text and local sand.

Agius is well-known for his works in painting, sculpture and installation using a variety of materials like raw clay, ceramics, stones, straw, twigs and branches, earth, natural pigments, oils and acrylics.

He has held solo exhibitions at the Opus 64 Galerie in Sliema and the Auberge d’Italie in Valletta, and internationally in Lago Maggiore and Florence among others.

He has also exhibited in Venice, Oxford, Paris and London.

The exhibition is open at Fondazione Pastificio Cerere, Via Degli Ausoni 7, Rome, until October 31.
