This is an exhibition which I have attended at the St. James Cavalier in Valletta. The exhibition consists of works by many different artists as shown in the title of the exhibition itself. Each artist had about six artworks shown.

M.Scicluna, 2014. 'L-Immigrant Abjad' [Indian Ink]. St. James Cavalier, Valletta.

This is one of Mark Scicluna's work. It is done by Indian Ink on aged paper. As you can see, this painting has a lot of space. However, it is quite balanced. I think that the fact that the figure is not placed straight, but diagonal is very interesting in the terms of space. 
As you have probably noticed, the figure drawn is not balanced, but this is for intentional purposes. This way, the figure looks more cartoonish.

M.Scicluna, 2014. 'Harry Houdini (tal-Plastik)' [Indian Ink]. St. James Cavalier, Valletta.

This is another work by Mark Scicluna and it is also made by Indian ink on aged paper. Here, Scicluna have drawn another figure. Colour is only in the text. The figure is only shown by an outline and a few other lines to show some detail and there are no shadings in this work.

A.Diacono, 2014. 'Mother and Child' [mixed media relief]. St. James Cavalier, Valletta.

This work is by Andrew Diacono and it is a high relief. It shows a mother holding a baby in her hands. The figures are unrealistic. Both the mother and the baby are too long. All of Diacono's work which was shown in this exhibition are with this kind of style. All figures are unrealistic. They are all too long. His paintings are also minimalists. 

A. Diacono, 2014. 'Guitarist' [oil]. St. James Cavalier, Valletta.

These are six oil paintings by Saviour Baldacchino. They are all with a religious subject but none of them has perfect figures or anything.

S. Baldacchino, 2014. 'Pride of George' [mixed media]. St.James Cavalier, Valletta.

M. Attard, 2014. 'Bar Code' [mixed media]. St. James Cavalie, Valletta.

'Bar Code is a work by Marisa Attard. It is mixed media. This artwork consists of four people at a bar. The bar resembles a bar code therefore, I think that the name fits the painting perfectly. The figures are non realistic.
