Explore the abstract world of Victor Pasmore and his artistic connection to Gozo’s legendary Cave of Calypso.

Victor Pasmore: The Cave of Calypso is a special exhibition at Il-Ħaġar | Heart of Gozo, showcasing works by the pioneering British artist who settled in Malta during the 1960s and continued living and working on the islands until his death in 1998.

The exhibition explores how Gozo’s Cave of Calypso inspired Pasmore’s abstract artistic language. Rather than depicting the landmark directly, the artist drew on its atmosphere and visual qualities to create geometric compositions and relief works. Many of the pieces on display come from the collection of Milan’s lorenzelli arte, a gallery with a long history of promoting his work.

Curated by Prof. Vince Briffa and coordinated by Valerio Ballotta, the exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to discover Pasmore’s distinctive approach to abstraction and his connection to Malta’s artistic heritage.

Victor Pasmore: The Cave of Calypso opens at Il-Ħaġar in Victoria, Gozo, on Saturday 14 November at 7:30pm, with the public invited to attend. The exhibition runs until 10 January 2027.
