MICAS’s new exhibition of paintings by Nathanaëlle Herbelin, Kemi Onabulé and Megan Rooney, curated by MICAS Artistic Director Edith Devaney in ‘𝗔 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲’ exhibition has official opened last weekend.
The opening was addressed by H.E. Myriam Spiteri Debono, President of Malta, who spoke about the role of institutions like MICAS in connecting Malta's cultural heritage with contemporary voices from around the world, and Dr Malcolm Paul Agius Galea, Minister for Arts, Cultural and National Heritage, that talked about how an exhibition like ‘A New Life Force’ reminds us that culture is never static. It evolves, it responds, and it creates new conversations between where we come from and where we want to go.
MICAS Executive Chairperson, Phyllis Muscat expressed the fact that "perhaps the most complete expression" of the museum's conviction: "that the most meaningful thing our institution can do for Malta is to bring talented international artists of every generation into genuine dialogue with the place in which they work."
Artistic Director Edith Devaney spoke about the influence of Malta's culture, history, and geography on some the works — the sea-reflected Mediterranean light in Rooney's large abstractions, the islands' fauna in Onabulé's lush landscapes, and the tradition of the Maltese ex-voto in Herbelin's paintings.
🖼️ ‘𝗔 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲’ exhibition is now open and on view till until 31 January 2027.
Don't miss your chance to experience 'A New Life Force' for yourself. Visit MICAS and discover the extraordinary works of Nathanaëlle Herbelin, Kemi Onabulé, and Megan Rooney.
