The Exhibition that was "Eccentricks"

The first exhibition that I entered was “Eccentricks” by Emanuel Bonnici. The date that I went to see this Exhibition was Friday,28th February His works was interesting and funny. Bonnici did several kind of work such as (f)lush, Duo, Hugo, telephone box, The bicycle with boat wheels and some other digital work. His work was inspired from the socio-cultural identity of the Maltese. His work is made by digital art and mix media.

This is the project called (f)lush.

The ‘(f)lush’ was a very interesting object that he created, it consisted of a Maltese boat which was turned into a toilet. Firstly he did a sketch by digital art and then gave it life by using mix media.

This is a telephone box.

The Telephone box was another piece of work done by Bonnici. I was inspired from the fact that he tries to make something traditional appear modern.

The three clocks that are called "Hugo".

There were these three different coloured clocks that Bonnici called “Hugo”. This work was amazing for the originality that Bonnici showed, by creating a contrast from one clock to another. The originality of these clocks is that they have the guitar neck combined with a clock.

This is the chair that called "Duo"

This chair was made from wood; he created a cart-like rocking-chair with the idea of a wooden cart which goes through our Maltese tradition.

Another digital sketch.

The bicycle that is combined with wooden cart wheels.

The green Bike is another interesting object made from a wheel of a Cart; he combined them with a Bicycle. He used our traditional colours of the Cart.

Some other digital sketches.

Another fascinating work was the digital art, which he left them plain and simple.

The other work that we had seen were very interesting and he used variety of vibrant colours and light colours too, texture, shapes, forms etc. We can learn also from the fact that he tried to combine two things together and they were all traditional work.
