Hosted at Il-\u0126a\u0121ar | Heart of Gozo Museum in Victoria, Reluctant Modernism: The Art of \u0120u\u017ceppi Briffa will explore the many facets of Briffa\u2019s artistic legacy, from his church commissions and detailed drawings to his paintings and engagement with popular culture.<\/p>\n
Curated by Dr Christian Attard, the exhibition is structured around six thematic sections and examines how Briffa\u2019s work balanced traditional artistic expectations with a willingness to challenge visual conventions and established norms.<\/p>\n
The exhibition forms part of the 29th edition of the Victoria International Arts Festival and will be inaugurated on 21st June at 11am.<\/p>\n
Visitors will have the opportunity to explore one of Malta\u2019s most prolific artistic careers through a diverse collection that highlights both the breadth of Briffa\u2019s output and the evolution of his creative vision.<\/p>\n
