The legacy of American artist Milton Avery lives on, not through imitation, but through personal connection to his work.
Our current exhibition features seven contemporary artists who interpret Avery’s vision through their own unique lens.
Among them is
@hennialftan . In her painting, ‘The Sea’ (2025), created solely for this exhibition, she embraced the idea that colour can exist for its own sake. Alftan was influenced by Avery’s technique of using colour to replace drawing, as seen in his painting ‘Blue Seas Sky’ (1958).
The result? Creation of dialogue across decades through art.

Il-legat tal-artist Amerikan Milton Avery għadha ħajja, iżda mhux b’imitazzjoni, iżda bil- konnessjoni personali ma’ xogħolu.
Fl-wirja preżenti tagħna insibu seba’ artisti kontemporanji li jinterpretaw il-viżjoni ta’ Avery permezz tal-perspettiva unika tagħhom stess.
Fosthom hemm Henni Alftan. Fil-pittura tagħha ‘The Sea’ (2025), maħluqa għal din l-wirja, Alftan turi kif l-kulur huwa fih iniffsu biżżejjed bħala arti.
Alftan ġiet influwenzata mit-teknika ta’ Avery biex tuża l-kulur bħala sostitut għad-disinn, kif jidher fil-pittura tiegħu ‘Blue Seas Sky’ (1958).
Ir-riżultat? Djalogu ta’ arti li għadu ħaj tul dawn l-aħħar deċennji.
Żurna u ngħaqqdu f’din il-konversazzjoni.
