Celebrating the French Ideal. Interview of Olivier Plique

“Welcoming works in a space has to be an emotional decision – art is a visual operation method, a dynamic that is constantly on the alert, and a network of references that is constantly expanded. It’s a passion. It’s exciting. My choices are mainly directed towards vigorous graphic signs in the context of a space where emptiness contributes to the balance of the composition. To have the opportunity to exhibit is to bring to life the artworks that have marked my life, that have nourished my visual imagination and, in return, to give visibility to their creators.”

“Thanks to my brother Brian, I established an important connection with Olivier Plique: a Frenchman who possesses a phenomenal love for Malta and Gozo. He quickly acted upon my rather unorthodox ideas and critical stance regarding the restructuring of the Mdina Biennale and on how this should somehow develop into an important source for my academic position within the University of Malta. Being a pragmatic person, Plique instantly drew up an intensive schedule of meetings with French artists and also with artistic institutions. He discovered other links for the growth of a beautiful chain of exciting exchanges”

Review by Juliet Rix

” A comfortable, arty hotel run by a French couple who have long been residents in Malta. It’s got just six rooms in a traditional historic area that has barely been touched by tourism, but is only a matter of minutes from all the sights of Birgu (also known as Città Vittoriosa) and Valletta. ”
