NYAB Event - Ġoxwa “The Past Made Present”

Ġoxwa “The Past Made Present”

Axelle Fine Arts

This event has ended.

Axelle New York welcomes back Maltese artist Ġoxwa for her tenth solo exhibition at the gallery. Ġoxwa’s encaustic works unite an age-old technique with timeless subjects and contemporary relevance. Her textured landscapes, still-lifes and figures appear to be Mediterranean frescoes painted on the walls of ancient buildings. Using oil, wax and a palette knife on canvas, Ġoxwa creates glimpses into another world- one where the past, present and future exist side by side. Her defined subjects are often surrounded by unclear backgrounds verging on abstraction. Full of life, Ġoxwa’s birds feel as though they are about to fly, her landscapes about to change and her women about to acknowledge the viewer.
