Artist Hui Sun will present his solo exhibition 'Vertigo' at the Malta Society of Arts from May 28 to June 25, featuring over 20 works including large-scale pieces from two of his series, along with smaller still lifes and landscapes. The show spans multiple media—oil, watercolor, ink, and clay sculpture—and is organized into four thematic sections: introduction, fantasy, vertigo, and revolution. Curator Marta Obiols Fornell describes the works as evoking a sense of dizziness and imbalance, encouraging viewers to seek stillness beyond the surface.
The exhibition matters because it offers a rare platform for an artist who deliberately confronts difficult subjects such as violence and bullying, aiming to reveal the 'true face of humanity' rather than idealized positivity. By staging this show in Malta, the Malta Society of Arts continues to support cross-cultural dialogue between Eastern and Western artistic traditions, while highlighting the role of emotional intensity and revision in contemporary painting and sculpture.
