A burst of morning light: Ryan Falzon’s ‘Firmament’

Drawing on philosophical, alchemical and religious texts, Ryan Falzon’s latest exhibition unfolds through painting, writing and installation

Firmament presents a new body of work by Ryan Falzon. It is the artist’s most introspective collection to date.

The exhibition takes its cue from the concept of the firmament, described in various ancient texts as the threshold between this world and the next, sometimes heaven, at others hell.

Drawing on philosophical, alchemical and religious texts, the exhibition unfolds through painting, writing and installation, tracking a desire to move beyond stable and hierarchical cosmologies that no longer serve contemporary needs.

Lying hidden beneath it all is Falzon’s own recent experience of loss.
