Environmental concerns and humanity are the underlying concepts that govern the oeuvre of
Roderick Camilleri. He discusses with
Joseph Agius the environmental issues tackled through his series of reliefs An Unlikely Crown.
Unlikely Crown Series, Untitled IV, wood on panel, 85 x 65cm, 2020.
For artist and curator Roderick Camilleri, every aspect of his work, be it artistic or curatorial, needs to come together as an organic whole; concepts and their visual counterpart are equally important factors in the equation.
From a very young age, Camilleri showed a passion for art, which together with philosophy eventually became his academic areas of study. This explains the philosophical and conceptual nature that permeates Camilleri’s work. He weaves ideas from various sources into an underlying concept that is developed into a project.
