Reggie Burrows Hodges: Mela documents the acclaimed artist’s first European exhibition at MICAS, featuring over 30 new paintings inspired by his time in Malta. Created during an extended stay on the island, these works explore Malta’s landscapes, culture, labour, and history through Hodges’ distinctive and atmospheric visual language.

Curated by Edith Devaney, Mela includes the artist’s largest canvases to date, alongside seascapes and a sound installation inspired by Malta’s ancient musical heritage. Richly illustrated, this publication offers a compelling insight into one of the most significant painters of his generation and his poetic response to Malta.
