Impossible Conversations: A Sculpture Exhibition

Impossible Conversations will be Francesca Balzan’s much anticipated first solo exhibition, after decades of studying and curating art and jewellery, she finally shares with us her terracotta sculptures. The artist being a recognized art historian, brings to her work a strong sense of narrative which plays on the social microhistories belonging to this very characteristic part of Valletta, that is the Ta Liesse area. With the sculptures recalling old and current colourful characters of the city, along with their distinct pastel colour palette and a touch of satire, these characters are brought to life. With this in mind, the artist is representing different people from different decades, even centuries, in a seemingly impossible conversation with each other.
Curated by Justine Balzan Demajo.
