About
Freedom, equality, fraternity: what do these words that express the motto of the French Republic mean? They refer to what are commonly called ideals, regarded as the pinnacle of what can be desired or imagined, for oneself and others, and as the bedrock of every human life worth living.
By inviting 3 recognized French artists representing this French Idea, the Valletta Contemporary Art Gallery wished to honor this thirst for ideal and for freedom of the people of France, including the socio-dynamic politics of expression and repression currently under spotlights with the movement of yellow vests.
In love with the same freedom aimed at challenging the very status of the piece of art, and following a narrative thread, each artist has created his/her own marker tools with a unique signature of a French-style artistic ideal.
