Gemelli Gallery at Ta' Qali is set to host Of Cloaks and Veils, an exhibition that marks a significant milestone in Mark Callus' artistic journey. A self-taught artist, Of Cloaks & Veils marks his debut in the world of art.

Mark's work spans from the delicate lines of charcoal to the vibrant complexity of oil paints, showcasing his versatility. His work in Of Cloaks and Veils delves into the themes of mystery, identity and transformation, inviting audiences to uncover the layers within each piece. It captures moments of introspection and human experiences.  We all have facades; we all have cloaks and veils. We all, as T. S. Eliot says, "put on a face to meet the faces that we meet". This is what Mark's art here explores: to depict what the eye sees in a way which reflects the soul. Being naturally reserved, he understands that art unveils truths. Therefore, he selected forms of art that conceal while simultaneously revealing. All art should "communicate before it is understood".

Mark invites viewers to join him on this journey and experience the  profound impact of art.

The exhibition is being sponsored by Jesmond Mizzi Financial Advisors Limited.

The exhibition is being held at Gemelli Framing & Art Gallery, at Ta' Qali Craft Village until 6 August and from 17 to 31 August
