Art: Inside Eric Kaiser’s ‘Reflecting Surfaces’

The French artist dissolves the traditional boundaries bet­ween the human figure and the object world in Phoenicia show

The Phoenicia Malta is currently presenting the works of French artist Eric Kaiser. Titled Reflecting Surfaces, his latest body of work explores the shifting relationship between portraiture and still life through a series of psychologically charged paintings infused with colour, humour and subtle theatricality.

Developed during the final months of the artist’s stay in Malta before his departure in September, the exhibition can be understood as both a meditation and a farewell.

Over the past four years, Malta has become a key site of transformation in Kaiser’s artistic practice, and this exhibition brings together many of the visual and conceptual concerns that have emerged during this period.
