It’s All Paperwork
The Valletta Cultural Agency is holding a sculpture exhibition titled It’s All Paperwork by Antoine Farrugia at the Parliament of Malta running until the 11th of December. The artworks will portray a transformation of the Maltese Globigerina Limestone into what can be perceived as ‘almost paper’. The stone is crafted so carefully and in so precisely that at a first glance it easily gives the impression that the work is made out of paper – a technique reminiscent of the term ‘trompe l’oeil’. Antoine Farrugia has established himself as one of Malta’s foremost sculptors. He hails from Mqabba, where his family was, for many years, involved in stone quarrying.
