“As I close my eyes, all I can see are her long, black tresses, her knowing, cheeky smile, and a myriad of colour. Folds upon folds. Bold brushmarks, within which she wove the narratives of her travels, of her nearest and dearest, as well as her own.”
Lisa Gwen, 2020
The first thing that would draw your eye when meeting Isabelle Borg was a white-greyish streak in her hair. A streak can be defined as a mark that differs from its surroundings. This is exactly what Isabelle was and what her work is today, a mark imprinted in our local artistic community and cultural heritage. The works exhibited in this retrospective will continue to leave a mark through her ability to interpret her life into a diary of visuals made out of paintings, sculptures, suitcases, and sketchbooks.
Curated by Lisa Gwen in collaboration with creative director Maria Galea.
