Blurring the line between document and artistic expression is very often the focus of Malta based photographer Alex Attard. He observes, filters and analyses absence and presence. His aesthetic varies from the stark and minimal, to quasi abstract, and he prefers to develop his work in series in an attempt to scrutinise and explore a subject as extensively as possible. He has had various solo exhibitions, one of which, ‘Parallel Existences’, has been published in book form (Kite Group) and awarded the ‘Best Book Production’ by the Malta National Book Prize. His work has been featured in several high-end shows and projects, including the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale together with architects AP Valletta, with whom he also collaborated on a group exhibition titled ‘Reasonable Dreams’ in Paris. Other exhibitions which featured Alex’s work include the Ostrale 2019 Contemporary Art Biennale in Germany, and the 2015 Mdina Contemporary Art Biennale. His work has been published in various international art and design magazines, and trend-setting platforms. A portfolio of his work forms part of the National Art Collection of Malta.
