SOME BACKGROUND INFO ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

INSIRU NAFU MIN HUMA L-ARTISTI:

Mrs. Ute Rupprecht-Hung,  comes from Erlangen, Bavaria, Germany. Her husband Chau-Chun Hung,  was born and grew up in Taiwan but haslived in Erlangen for more than 40 years now. The two artists have also lived in Malta since 1986, first on holidays only, but since 2005 as residents. Mrs. Hung also lived inthe U.S. for 4 years. So it is evident, they are both well travelled and have seen many countries , landscapes andcultures and this, of course, has also influenced their artisticwork. Mrs. Hung comes from an artistic family. Both her father and grandfather were painters and even as a girl of seven she showed interest in painting and sought the advice of her artistic family members. During all her school years she excelled in these activities and started sculpturing at the age of 17. But her second favorite subject–literature–was chosen for her academic career. She studied literature and philosophy in New York, Munich, Heidelberg, Berlin and at Columbia, South Carolina and received her PhD in Erlangen. She has lectured in languages and literature for many years, but also always kept up her artistic work. She was writing her PhD thesis in Erlangen when she met her husband Chau-Chun Hung, who after the study of mathematics at Fu-Jen Catholic (SVD) University in Taipei and the university of Erlangen was writing his thesis for his mathematics diploma.They got married in 1976 and their son was born in 1979. Mr. Hung has worked as scientific assistant at the firms of Siemens and Philips and as a business advisor for Philips,AT&T-Lucent in China. He too was privately trained at a very early age in the art of painting especially in water colour. And during his scientific studies and work he always kept up and improved his artistic skills. Both artists were happy finally to have enough time for painting and sculpturing,when they retired from their public engagements. Since they have lived in Malta as residents, they also became members of the Malta Society of Arts Manufacture and commerce, and have taken part in exhibitions and competitions.The title of this exhibition is ʻ Nature and Imaginationʼ. Nature we can see in both artistsʼ paintings of landscapes, seascapes and mountainscapes. But as becomes immediately visible, these are no photo realistic depictions of natural sites. Chauchun Hungʼs paintings, though they are easily recognizeable familiar sites, through his imaginative eye and strong colour responses are transformed into floating, brooding, enchanting or magical places, with theirvery own atmosphere. And Ute Hungʼs paintings and sculptures, though clearly rooted in reality, can take flights into outer space (e.g.supernovas and other spectacular sites), sometimes even excursions into the abstract, but also into the realms of fantasy (her faces of mythological characters, e.g.Pentesilea, or her figures of mermaids and angels.We hope that you will enjoy following their flights of fancy and share their pleasure in the creation of art.

KXIF TAL-BUST TA’ VICTOR AGIUS

NHAR IL-ĠIMGĦA 27 TA’ APRIL 2012

Waqt attivita’ li ġiet organizzata nhar il-Ġimgha 27 ta’ April 2012 fir-Razzett tal-Markiż Mallia Tabone,  sar il-kxif  tal-bust ta’ Victor Agius, xogħol ta’ l-iskultur Frans Muscat.

Ghal din l-attivita’ attendew għadd ġmielu ta’ Personalitajiet, familjari ta’ Victor Agius u ħbieb tar-Razzett:

Tislima lill-benefattur Victor Agius:

Fil-għodwa tat-Tnejn, 21 ta’ Diċembru 2009, tħabbret il-mewt tas-Sur Victor Agius fl-għomor ta’ 59 sena. Kienet aħbar kerha li ħasdet mhux biss lin-Naxxarin, iżda lil bosta oħrajn li kienu jafuh mill-qrib.

Missieru, Kalċidon Agius, apparti li kien għamel numru ta’ snin jirrappreżenta lill-poplu fil-Kamra tar-Rappreżentanti bħala Deputat Parlamentari, serva wkoll bħala Speaker. Kalċidon kien ukoll kittieb u drammaturgu. Huwa kien ta’ ispirazzjoni kbira għal ibnu Victor minħabba li Victor involva ruħu sew fis-soċjeta’ ta’ madwaru, kemm fil-Komunita’ Naxxarija, fejn sa mill-1994 sal- 2009, kien Kunsillier u kif ukoll interessa ruħu fl-oqsma tal-politika, tal-kultura u l-volontarjat ta’ pajjiżna. Victor kien bniedem sempliċi ħafna iżda b’qalb tad-deheb.

L-Għaqda Filangtropika Talent Mosti kellha x-xorti li tgawdi mill-ġenerożita’ ta’ Victor Agius. Victor dejjem wera interess u l-ħeġġa u d-determinazzjoni tiegħu wasslu biex razzett qadim fuq ir-riħ ta’ Wied il-Għasel, isir il-kwartieri tal-Għaqda Filantropika Talent Mosti. Meta din il-ħolma saret realta’ fl-1998 bis-saħħa ta’ Victor u ta’ persuni oħrajn li għandhom għal qalbhom il-ġid tal-Għaqda u l-ħarsien tal-wirt Malti, ħass sodisfazzjon kbir li dan l-akkwist sar ifisser wens u żvog lil tant artisti, kittieba u studenti flimkien ma’ tant nies oħrajn minn kull settur tal-ħajja li sabu skop ġdid f’ħajjithom permezz ta’ dan iċ-Ċentru Kulturali, b’għan filantropiku.

Bħala parti minn proġett ta’ tisbiħ li sar fir-Razzett tal-Markiż fl-2007 u li baqa’ għaddej minn fażi   għall-oħra sa llum, Talent Mosti irsista biex jitwaqqaf numru ta’ bustijiet li x-xbiha ta’ kull wieħed u waħda minnhom, ifakkruk f’persuni maħbuba li l-Għaqda ħasset id-dmir li jiġu mfakkra fil-kwartier tagħha għar-rispett u t-tislim tal-viżitaturi u tal-membri nfushom. U propju jinsabu biswit jew qrib xulxin, għax ilkoll kemm huma taw is-sehem utli tagħhom ħalli l-Għaqda timxi ‘l quddiem u b’hekk minn qrupp b’għeruq parrokjali Mosti, kiber u ssaħħaħ għal wieħed b’għarfien fuq livell Nazzjonali.

Apprezzament lill-iskultur Frans Muscat:

Għalkemm l-iskultur Frans Muscat qatt ma studja l-arti, il-kapaċita’ artistika li twieled biha, qatt ma ħallietu bi kwietu u baqa’ jaħdem fil-kamp artistiku fil-ħin liberu tiegħu. Fl-2007, Frans kellu x-xorti jintgħażel biex jaħdem bħala skultur fuq is-sett tal-film AGORA li nħadem f’pajjiżna. Din kienet esperjenza mill-aqwa għalih u kompliet issaħħaħlu mhux ftit l-ambizzjonijiet artistiċi li jħaddan. Xi xogħolijiet minn tiegħu jinsabu fi djar privati. Fuq is-setaħ tar-Razzett tal=Markiz, jinsab  il-bust ta’ Mother Theresa, xogħol mill-isbaħ li Frans ħadmu b’dedikazzjoni u b’imħabba.

Bejn Frar u Marzu tal-2010, Frans esebixxa wirja personali tiegħu, propju fir-Razzett tal-Markiż. Proġett li hu ferm għal qalbu u li ilu fuqu għal dawn l-aħħar snin hu, il-mudellar fit-terrakotta tat-tmien pitturi majestużi ta’ Ġużeppi Cali li jinsabu fir-Rotunda tal-Mosta, magħrufin bħala l-lunetti tal-ħajja ta’ Kristu.

L-Għaqda Filantropika Talent Mosti tibqa’ tgħożż il- ħidma ta’ Victor Agius li kienet l-għaxqa tiegħu li minn waqt għall-ieħor, taqbeż qabża sar-Razzett tal-Markiż biex jara xi jkun għaddej.

Il-memorja għażiża ta’ Victor Agius ser tibqa’ ħajja permezz ta’ dan il-bust artistiku, iżda fuq kollox f’qalb kull min hu midħla tar-Razzett tal-Markiz.
