Sculpture by the sea

Abstract

Recently, ceramist and sculptor, Charles Sammut has been doing more outdoor artwork, and work with metal and other material. He is now one of the very few Maltese artists who are commissioned to embellish particular sites in public spaces. Mr Sammut's large scale urban sculptures are now an important part of his artistic development. A recent example is his latest work at the Cottonera Waterfront. Earlier this month, Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi unveiled a spectacular iron sculpture by Mr Sammut which is 3.85 metres high and called by the artist Images From The Sea : Sails and Dolphins. It was placed under a structure of three arches in the inlet at Fort St Angelo, next to the Yacht Marina.
