Form, Feeling and Fusion is the title of an art exhibition by George Cassar, being held at the Banca Giuratale, Victoria. Here structure meets imagination in a captivating blend of realism and abstraction.

The collection explores the dynamic interplay between defined forms and expressive gestures, inviting viewers into a world where clarity and ambiguity coexist in harmony.

Through layered compositions and thoughtful contrasts, the works reveal a balance between precision and spontaneity, offering both visual depth and emotional resonance. Each piece, from a collection of 28 works, encourages reflection, drawing the audience into a dialogue between the familiar and the unexpected.

According to art enthusiasts, Cassar’s works reflect the mode of an artist who is deeply passionate, serene, fluid and yet, at times, bold, energetic and aggressive, a style that can be described as a controlled fusion of raw emotion and subdued chaos.

The technique often feels like a dialogue between controlled realism, as reflected in his still lives and the volatility, with loose, raw flary colours, and a rebellious attitude with aggressive brushstrokes, in his abstraction works. It is not about accuracy, but rather the intensity of the moment, at times seductive, at times confronta­tional.

Besides the visual arts, Cassar loves all artforms and artistic expressions ‒ particularly jazz, classical rock and Brazilian Bossa Nova. He is a passionate and avid traveller, loves cooking, fishing and guitar playing.

He studied art from a young age and continued developing under the tutorship of various acclaimed Maltese artists, including George Fenech, Esprit Barthet, Harry Alden, Vincent Gatt, Gianni Bonnici and others. He is a long-time member of the Malta Society of Arts.

Cassar took part in various collective exhibitions both in Malta and abroad. Years back, he also had the opportunity of showcasing his paintings and prints in an exhibition with the late artist and ceramist Gabriel Caruana.

Form, Feeling and Fusion runs until Sunday, March 22. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, from 8am to 2.30pm; Saturday and Sunday, between 8am and noon.
