Gozitan artist, George Scicluna will be holding an exhibition of his paintings enititled, ‘Compositions & Brushstrokes,’ at the Banca Giuratale Foyer, Independence Square, Victoria.

George was born in 1966 in Victoria, Gozo. He studied art at the Salvatore Dimech School of Arts in Mosta where he obtained a diploma in Graphic Design.

He continued his studies at the School of Arts, Malta, and, eventually, at the ‘Accademia di Belle Arti’ in Perugia, Italy. In the late 1980s he worked as a scenographer with the ‘Impresa Fasano,’ Rome, painting perspectives for several opera theatres in Italy.

George won the first prize in several art competitions. He took part in numerous collective exhibitions and presented four solo exhibitions to date. In 2006, he was invited by Peter Howson, an internationally renowned Scottish artist, to make a joint exhibition in Glasgow, Scotland. George’s work is to be found on display alongside Peter Howson’s in the Third Step Gallery in Glasgow and also in many private collections locally and internationally.

The artist has had several exhibitions both in Gozo and Malta and in 2010 one of George’s paintings depicting a typical Gozitan scene of the Victoria Citadel, which was painted in oil on canvas, was presented to the Prime Minister, Lawrence Gonzi.

The exhibition opens for viewing from Wednesday, the 28th of November and will be inaugurated on Friday, the 30th of November at 7.00pm. It will remain open to the public until Sunday, the 9th of December. The opening hours are 8.00am-3.00pm (weekdays) and 9.00am-12.00 noon (weekends & public holidays).
