The stillness of time: Reggie Burrows Hodges’s Malta

Matthew Vella interviews Reggie Burrows Hodges ahead of his exhibition at MICAS

Malta is a long way away from his hometown of Compton, California. But in this small Mediterranean island, contemporary artist Reggie Burrows Hodges seems to have tapped into a new guiding force of energy and direction, which has informed and generated the art he will be showing at the Malta International Contemporary Art Space (MICAS) this month.

He calls his work “a poem, a novel to the people of the country” where he feels welcome – and Reggie Burrows Hodges: Mela is by far his most ambitious body of work to date, including his largest canvases to date, inspired by his engagement with Maltese culture and history.
