`Into The Void’ is the title of an exhibition of new work by Charlotte Wallis, which opened recently at Art e..Gallery, Victoria, Gozo

The collection of paintings was created by the artist following her move to Qala last year. The work, oil and acrylic on canvas, considers the idea of the space between viewer and painting, environment and self. Charlotte said that the English language doesn’t have a word to specifically describe this idea, and she took great inspiration from the Japanese word ‘Ma’ – negative space, or all the happens between lines, and between borders, both visually and experientially.

“Since arriving on the island, I have been impressed time and again by the rich artistic community, and the support for the arts, for those who create both locally and further afield,” Charlotte commented.

She added, “I feel Gozo and Malta set a precedent for nurturing creativity and celebrating culture and tradition – it is something to be valued, and I am grateful to be a part of a growing community of sincere artists and performers.”

Into the Void exhibition closes this Saturday, the the of July at 1 Library street, Victoria. The Art e..Gallery is open Mondays to Saturdays from 9.30am till 12.15pm. On Fridays, the gallery is also open between 5.00pm and 7.00pm.
