Biography:
Victor Agius’ (b.1982) first contact with art was through his father Mario’s sculpture studio. He obtained his degree in Art from the University of Malta in 2004 and furthered his studies at the International School of Painting, Drawing and Sculpture in Perugia, Italy and at the Central Saint Martin’s College for Art and Design in London.
His works were locally shown at St James Cavalier in Valletta and at Opus 64 Galerie in Sliema. Group exhibitions include the International Biennale of Contemporary Art in Florence and other shows held at the Long Room Gallery at Oxford University, at the Centre Culturel Christiane Peugeot in Paris, at Bricklane Gallery in London, at the Arte Padova Fair in Padova, at the Museum of Modern Art in Santo Domingo and at Galleria San Eufemia in Venice.
Recently he was invited to exhibit at the Spazio Pastificio Cerere in Rome and at the ‘Duke of Edinburgh Room 36’ which was curated by Austin Camilleri. Between June 2013 and July 2014 he collaborated with composer Dr Mariella Cassar-Cordina and writer Dr Immanuel Mifsud in Ġgantija 2013 Project which was launched at the Unesco World Heritage site Ġgantija Temples in Gozo Malta and at St James Cavalier in Valletta which was curated by Dr Vince Briffa.
Last September he was selected to represent Malta in the International European Ceramic Context which was held in Denmark.
