Giuseppe Modica was born in Mazara del Vallo in 1953. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, and now lives in Rome, where he is full professor of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts. A “solo traveler” who does not easily assimilate with other group tendencies, he is a “metaphysically new” originator who combines tradition with innovation. Modica has been appreciated by art historians and critics such as M. Fagiolo, V. Sgarbi, G. Giuf-
frè, and C. Strinati, and by great writers like L. Sciascia and A. Tabucchi. Modica has exhibited his works at prestigious solo exhibitions in Milan, Rome, Paris, Cologne, Bologna, Florence and Palermo, as well as at organisations, institutions and museums: Aosta, Tour Fromage; Ferrara, Palazzo dei Diamanti; Treviso, Casa dei Carraresi; Roma, Complesso del Vittoriano; Arezzo, Galleria Civica; Palermo, Loggiato di San Bartolomeo; Marsala, Galleria Civica; Roma, Palazzo Venezia. His works have also been on show at international art festivals such as: VIII International Cairo Biennale; XIII Rome Quadriennale; VI Biennial of Engraving, Milan; Novecento Siciliano, Minsk, Moscow, Barcellona and Palermo; Milano Arte Italiana 1968-2007, Palazzo Reale; 54th Venice Biennale, Arsenal, Italian

Ruth Faerber is an important artist in the history of Australian printmaking and hand-made paper based art forms.
Recognised nationally for her role as educator, critic and artist, Ruth has also been a three time winner  in the non-painting category of the Mosman Art Prize during the 1970s and 1980s. As a result of these acquisitions  as well as generous donations from the artist to the Gallery, we are fortunate to be able to display a series of works  spanning five decades of her artistic career.
During this exhibition period there will be additional selected highlights from the Mosman Art Collection  on display including works by Noel Counihan and John Brack.
