Portals of Valletta
Artist: Charles Paul Azzopardi
Price: €295
Dimensions: 297 x 420 mm
Date: 2017
The 30 individual architectural fine art monochrome prints by internationally awarded artist and photographer, Dr Charles Paul Azzopardi, are an exploration and study of symmetry, symphony, patterns and reflections, looking at spaces we all encounter in everyday life, doors, always taken for granted, with barely a nod of indebtedness as we fleet past them. Charles has taken his background in architectural photography to showcase Valletta in its beauty, and these images are an ode to Malta’s capital.

Each print is accompanied by a book in a Deluxe slipcase.

hite Shadows
Artist: Prof Richard England
Price: €2,750
Dimensions: 185 x 125 mm
Date: 2017
White Shadows is a sculpture designed by Richard England, depicting cut-outs of a family group strolling on a Malta seafront promenade where people enjoy leisurely walks. The cut-outs in the travine marble slab allow light to pass through to cast white shadows on the sculpture base. Only these cut-outs cast white shadows, as shadows are always areas of no light and darkness. The sculpture is a work designed specifically to reverse this process.
A limited edition of 5 in a deluxe case, individually numbered and signed by Richard England are available from Kite Group.
