Gozopainter is a new collection by Julian Calabrese. This series is partly influenced by Impressionism and abstract expressionism. The partially abstract representational style intends to celebrate the wild and energetic Gozo landscapes.
Julian has over 30yrs of experience in visual arts.
Since working in large scale conceptual design projects and production design within film, Julian returned to painting and professional photography in Malta in the mid 00's.
Exhibitions included:
Joint exhibition, Artworks, at Robert Sammut Hall, Malta 1996
Calabrese at All Saints Bar, Nottinghill, London 1999
Calabrese at Cobden Club, Westbourne Grove, London 2005
Solo exhibition, Layers, at Galley G, Lija, Malta 2007
Joint exhibition, Hospice Exhibition 2008, Valletta
Joint exhibition, Love Gozo Exhibition, Inspire foundation, Gozo 2018
Prior to the pandemic, I was intensely focused on abstract expression painting, in balance with my professional photography.
This new work becomes a celebration of island life, as it feels, in paint.
