FIMBank sponsors C.S. Lawrence Art Exhibition

27.09.2011

FIMBank plc is sponsoring an art exhibition by artist C.S. Lawrence entitled ‘Azure & Ochre’. The exhibition, which will be housed at the Auberge de France in Vittoriosa, will be open to the public between the 2nd and 30th October 2011, and will be inaugurated by the President of Malta, H.E. George Abela. A percentage of the sales from the exhibition will be donated to the Malta Community Chest Fund.

C.S. Lawrence was born in East Africa in 1957. Eleven years later her family moved to the Middle East while she was sent to boarding school in Surrey, England. She eventually moved to Bahrain, where she started her career as a professional artist. The artist settled in Malta in 2002, where she found herself immersed in a landscape “full of brilliant colour”.

Commenting on FIMBank’s sponsorship of the exhibition, the Bank’s President, Ms Margrith Lütschg-Emmenegger, stated that it is clear that in her work C.S. Lawrence is “stimulated by the magnificent landscapes of the Maltese islands, which in turn generate a feeling of serenity and give cause for reflection”. Ms Lütschg-Emmenegger said that FIMBank was pleased to support an artist who, like the Bank, greatly appreciated the islands’ many qualities. “Moreover”, she added, “the fact that part of the proceeds from the exhibition will go to the Malta Community Chest Fund lends further merit to the event”.
