Event summary

Highlights

  • Paintings of fading Maltese shopfronts and hand-painted signs
  • Artworks featuring iconic locations such as Gleneagles Bar
  • Culmination of a summer residency at Studio 87
The showcase acts as the final result of Champ’s recent summer art residency at Studio 87, where she focused on capturing mundane yet iconic details of the Maltese landscape. Her work highlights weathered wooden storefronts, bold typography, and established institutions like Gozo’s Gleneagles Bar, presenting them as fragments of a collective memory at risk of being lost to gentrification and rapid development.

Champ’s style is influenced by her Provençal background and formal training in Florence and London. The paintings in this series offer an outsider’s perspective on the warmth and intimacy of Mediterranean life, recorded through curious observation of the local environment. The opening event on September 18 is sponsored by Philip Martinet Fine Wines.
