RETURN ISLAND

Maltese born painter Dominique Ciancio (b. 1983) has for the past ten years worked as a freelance artist between Malta and Norway. Like many during the recent flight restrictions he found himself unusually bound to the island. This time however allowed for precious moments of reflection. The memories of growing up on a Mediterranean island with its temperament and traditions intertwine with present realities of urbanization and changing human relationships.
In Return Island people and objects jostle for attention in settings that may seem bizarre, humorous and tragic all at once.
This solo exhibition of paintings will run from the 6 – 27 May 2021 at the Malta Society of Arts, Palazzo De La Salle, Valletta
