Almost five decades of art, design and watercolour are coming together in Valletta as Maltese artist Doranne Alden Caruana prepares to unveil a retrospective exhibition celebrating her creative journey.<\/p>\n
Titled FULL CIRCLE \u2014 From Design to Light, the exhibition will open at St. John Ambulance & Rescue in Valletta on Friday 16th October, before running until 31st October.<\/p>\n
Officially opened by Dr Michael Frendo, the exhibition traces Doranne\u2019s evolution from her early focus on colour and composition to her more recent fascination with light, atmosphere and capturing a particular \u201cmoment in time\u201d.<\/p>\n
Doranne began studying art at around 14 years old at the Msida Polytechnic before entering professional graphic design in 1982.<\/p>\n
During the 1980s, she worked with JPA and designed Circle Magazine from cover to cover for its first five years. She later established Details Design Ltd in 1990.<\/p>\n
But throughout her design career and family life, one artistic passion remained constant.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always been a watercolourist,\u201d Doranne said.<\/p>\n
The exhibition features recent paintings depicting Malta and Gozo, people, architecture and landscapes, alongside a retrospective section containing earlier and more personal pieces, including works connected to her family and the years she spent painting alongside her father.<\/p>\n
Over her career, Doranne has participated in more than 55 collective exhibitions, as well as numerous joint and solo exhibitions, with her work appearing in publications both locally and internationally.<\/p>\n
Today, painting and teaching remain at the heart of her artistic practice.<\/p>\n
FULL CIRCLE \u2014 From Design to Light runs from 17th to 31st October at St. John Ambulance & Rescue in Valletta, following its opening on 16th October at 7.30pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Almost five decades of art, design and watercolour are coming together in Valletta as Maltese artist Doranne Alden…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":627898,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[442,498,499,500,501,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-627897","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=627897"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627897\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/627898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=627897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=627897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=627897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
