Mgr Paul Cremona O.P.\u00a0 will open\u00a0 the exhibition on 4 Feb at a private function. Viewing on the Opening Night is by invitation only. The exhibition will be open to the public from 5 February to 4 March 2016 from 8.00 am to 7.00 pm Mon \u2013Fri and 9.00 am to 1.00 pm on Saturdays.<\/p>\n<p>The Exhibition consists of thirty paintings, all in pastel and all seascapes. Joe Spiteri Staines tries to bring out the beauty of our sea together with the vivid blue of our sky and the subtle hues when the sun is just rising or about to set.<\/p>\n<p>Joe\u2019s favourite medium is pastel, a medium which he feels is quite undervalued in the world of art and especially in Malta. \u201cPastels give one an immediacy which no other medium has and the vibrant colours achieved, due to working with pure pigment, are difficult to obtain with other media\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>The artist has no pre-conceived idea as to what message his art wants to portray. He enjoys his art and wants to reproduce the beauty of nature and the world around him in a way that other people can enjoy it as well.<\/p>\n<p>Art lovers who are interested in attending the private viewing on the Opening Night should email <a href=\"mailto:info@acnmalta.org\">info@acnmalta.org<\/a> for an invitation and further information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 &#8220;&#8230;
