In Leave at Dawn &#8211; Return by Dusk, Abela is questioning memory throughout life, casting doubt on human memory limitations and vulnerability. Most of the works in the exhibition are from memory, leaving the artist exposed to all errors and different probabilities to where a particular painting or drawing can head. The works look back at what in theory is called \u2018constructed memory\u2019. The death of the artist\u2019s father back in August 2018 was instrumental to bringing Abela closer to questioning existence. Specifically, this death becomes a memento mori: an event leading to the contemplation of the vanity of life and the transient nature of earthly pursuits. With a limited palette, Abela has built a romantic body of work, mostly paintings, inspired by his father\u2019s daily errands on a Vespa across the Gozitan landscape. In sum, this presentation treats the artist\u2019s relentless pursuit to unify the self with the universe. The exhibition will be open from 1st March till 2nd April 2019 at Vini e Capricci by Abraham&#8217;s, Gozitano, Xewkija Gozo. <a class=\"profileLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/253037142258165\/?acontext=%7B%22source%22%3A108%2C%22action_history%22%3A%22%5B%7B%5C%22surface%5C%22%3A%5C%22post_page%5C%22%2C%5C%22mechanism%5C%22%3A%5C%22surface%5C%22%2C%5C%22extra_data%5C%22%3A%5B%5D%7D%5D%22%2C%22has_source%22%3Atrue%7D&amp;source=108&amp;action_history=%5B%7B%22surface%22%3A%22post_page%22%2C%22mechanism%22%3A%22surface%22%2C%22extra_data%22%3A%5B%5D%7D%5D&amp;has_source=1&amp;fref=mentions&amp;__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARALtm8kG6hkhl-TmTkDRMgtzb8cjjCYb_X4s4wUrPf9k7SYawhydYcY5IWZBbU5WsBVV-UPGlcxJbXExCVEuWhKxsM0w0Qo187OhjFmj8ddib9vJ0P3AqjdethnbP_JRxzJjs5ifGsZ9RlpmSi8qgOPDbLIJhOeZIqwB1_Ho-PF_UP0RKOPE3MgHC8vDLHLbSUcUaBmJjXE5GaQL7vlfe5vc7WkYBG6tH1UJJHIvjIwyaf1w44Mb6vHBCJNz7gjOZTfS_WuD1F51EH-WlKhwnsTX9cTGHjA3kjR0NpSdaTTzwEcnISy8BNx3QGbOXt0890rNxGCES79&amp;__tn__=K-R\">Leave at Dawn &#8211; Return by Dusk<\/a> <a class=\"profileLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/abrahamsgozo\/?fref=mentions&amp;__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARALtm8kG6hkhl-TmTkDRMgtzb8cjjCYb_X4s4wUrPf9k7SYawhydYcY5IWZBbU5WsBVV-UPGlcxJbXExCVEuWhKxsM0w0Qo187OhjFmj8ddib9vJ0P3AqjdethnbP_JRxzJjs5ifGsZ9RlpmSi8qgOPDbLIJhOeZIqwB1_Ho-PF_UP0RKOPE3MgHC8vDLHLbSUcUaBmJjXE5GaQL7vlfe5vc7WkYBG6tH1UJJHIvjIwyaf1w44Mb6vHBCJNz7gjOZTfS_WuD1F51EH-WlKhwnsTX9cTGHjA3kjR0NpSdaTTzwEcnISy8BNx3QGbOXt0890rNxGCES79&amp;__tn__=K-R\">Vini e Capricci by Abraham&#8217;s<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opening of a new art space in Gozo.
