ENDLESS THINKING

Endless Thinking is an exhibition of works by local artist Noel Attard (b. 1966), which engages with the theme of mental health from a psychological and physiognomic point of view, whereby he attempts to understand the inner personality through the outward qualities of a person.

The representation of mental health in art has long been a subject of intrigue. With an increasing awareness on mental health, be it through a sociological, psychological, or even artistic point of view, this is a theme which is arguably amongst the top tiers of thematic exploration in the twenty-first century.

Noel Attard is a local artist who often experiments with different media, styles and techniques. At the basis of his art, Noel generally tends to express his own sense of the present, and thus takes inspiration from multiple sources including art theory, philosophy, theology, politics, science and music. For this exhibition, Noel delves deeper into the realm of psychology. with particular reference to mental health. Through this exhibition, Attard does not seek to visually illustrate narratives or episodes which he associates with mental illness but evokes a thorough sense of abstraction altogether. Through his abstractions, he attempts to reveal a deeper truth to the psychological battles of man.
