Sensitivity Vs Passion
July 29th, 2008 - Naxxar,
Albert Caruana (1928-) and Doranne Alden (1963-) are organising an art exhibition: ‘Sensitivity vs Passion’ at Gallery G, Villa Gourgion, 4 Sir Ugo Mifsud St., Lija, Malta. The inauguration on Friday 12th September 2008 will present this father/daughter team with around 100 works. The exhibition will remain open for public viewing from 13th September till the 2nd of October.
The works by Albert and Doranne reveal a polarity of taste, vision and concept. They work in tandem and demonstrate deep understanding. The relationship is perfect: Albert, the introvert loves tranquillity and serenity – nature in a docile mood; Doranne, the extrovert is stunningly passionate and emotive. Albert is the lyrical escapist; Doranne faces life’s challenge reacting in a bold and forceful manner. Albert loves classical tradition and sacred art while Doranne's choice of may be subject simple and mundane, the interpretation is modern and fresh. Both are inspired by nature, both love genre and landscape. Albert is a master of line while Doranne loves colour.
Albert evokes the music of silence with attendant therapy. His romanticism is highly contagious. Doranne is exuberant and extravagant. Her work has been referred to as ‘little jewels of art’ while Thomas Wellens has described her work as ‘natural without being too realistic’. Her speciality: fruit, deserved the epithet ‘warm and mouth-watering’ (Marika Azzopardi, 2008).
The polarity recedes into the shadows while individuality breaks forth into contrasting character. Albert is Doranne’s mentor, the link to a close team. But while Albert admires the melting mists of Turner, Doranne adores the sculptural Cezanne and the boldly colourful Matisse.
