Francis Norbert Attard

He was born in 1951 in Malta. He graduated in Architecture from the Malta University. His work embraces the tonality of wider influences and textures which range from the ancient and modern, man-made and raw, earth and steel, painting, film and digital media, honed with an eye for detail and a passion for discipline. He is a committee member of the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts (2002) and director of GOZO contemporary (2001), an art space offering self directed residencies on the island of Gozo where he lives and has got his studio. Since 1998 his works have been shown at the 48th Venice Biennale, Italy; Edinburgh International Arts Festival, Scotland; 2nd Liverpool Biennale England; 8th Havana Biennale, Cuba; including several installations and collective international shows in Austria, Spain, Germany, Greece, South Korea, Australia and Taiwan. Several books on his work, including his most recent I See Red Everywhere (2002) and 2000 & Four Olympics (2004) have been published.
