This is reminiscent of the term \u2018trompe l\u2019oeil\u2019 which is usually used to describe paintings that are so realistic that they deceive the eye.<\/p>\n<p>Antoine Farrugia\u2019s extraordinary talent and skill are undebatable. Farrugia hails from Mqabba where he maufactured fireworks for several years. Limestone quarrying is also very much associated with this village where Farrugia\u2019s\u2019s father and other family members \u00a0worked over the decades, greatly contribing to the sculptor\u2019s love affair with globigerina limestone.<\/p>\n<p>Although his appreciation of art began from an early age, Farrugia started scultpting in his 30s. He studies under the guidance of Anton Grech at the School of Art where he obtained his Diploma in Fine Arts.<\/p>\n<p>His research and work on this so-called theme \u201cpapers\u201d started around five years ago and Farrugia looks foward to showcase these original art pieces in this and prestigious exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>This exhibition is being held under the patronage of Hon. An\u0121lu Farrugia M.P. Speaker of the House of Representatives in Malta.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cxBduM-a7NA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s all Paperwork\u2019 is a solo exhibition by sculptor Antoine Farrugia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27708,"parent":0,"template":"","etn_category":[],"etn_tags":[],"class_list":["post-27707","etn","type-etn","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) -
