Twilights – is a new exhibition opening soon at Il-Hagar Museum in Gozo, featuring Sacred Art by Aaron Formosa.

Basically a self-taught painter, Formosa, who was born in 1980, has participated in various collective and solo exhibitions in Malta and Gozo. His works can be found in private and public collections, locally and overseas.

In his art, Formosa aims to capture the intensity of transient emotions and communicate these experienced moments.

He describes it as a crepuscular light that pervades these paintings in such a way that the loosely painted figures seek to manifest themselves in this aura of semi-darkness.

Formosa teaches philosophy, in which he holds a masters degree, at the Refalo Sixth Form.

Twilights will have its official opening on Saturday, the 27th of February at 11.30am, accompanied with the launch of the eleventh book in the Il-Hagar GEMS series of full-colour sixty-pagers.

Visitors will have the opportunity to view these paintings until the 6th of April, during the normal times of 9am to 5pm seven days a week, there is no entrance fee.

This event, included in the programme for Il-Hagar’s eighth anniversary, is supported financially by the Gozo Ministry’s Cultural Directorate.

The organisers said that they are responsible for adhering to the Health Authority’s directives and so are offering options for the opening.

Besides the opening session at 11.30am, there are also sessions available at 7 and 9 pm, as well as 11.45am on Sunday, the 28th. Please make your choice and book on events@heartofgozo.org.mt.
