Victor Pasmore is regarded as one of the most prominent leading figures in the modern art movement of the 20th century both locally and internationally. During the three decades he spent living in Malta, Pasmore underwent an artistically experimental phase, during which he produced some of his most notable work.

The artwork he created during this period is exhibited during The Eye and the Symbol –The Permanent Collection Exhibition, at the Victor Pasmore Gallery at APS House, St Paul Street, Valletta. An array of never-seen-before artworks and familiar ones will be showcased during this exhibition, taking viewers on a journey that examines Pasmore’s relationship with the Maltese islands through the various characteristics, mediums and materials he utilised during the final three decades of his life

“What, perhaps, is relevant to my new painting in Malta is that the close and constant proximity of the ancient, mythological and Neolithic past has reinforced my orientation from the physics of art to its biological and psychological content.”

Victor Pasmore
