EMERGING DIMENSIONS

Lewis Zammit

The paintings exhibited in Lewis Zammit’s exhibition titled ‘Emerging Dimensions’ materialised from perceptively studying his surroundings while continually questioning elements that are basic to our lives but even more complex matters. Lewis is of the belief that “In the quiet space of our minds, we navigate in our universe of emotions”. In fact, it is such thoughts and emotions that one can see being translated into his unique, non-representational paintings. These abstract pieces possess a main preoccupation with space, and the contradiction between form and space, void vs solid. He believes that space can become form, and that form can be part of space. This was the starting point for each composition, where the forms are as important as what may at first appear to be empty spaces in these paintings. These ‘spaces’, are more pronounced in some paintings than in others, and provide a lot of significance in terms of meaning, but they are also important compositionally.  ‘Emerging Dimensions’ was held at The Phoenicia Malta throughout March 2024.
