Carla Busuttil - Exit Mode

In Exit Mode, Berlin-based and South African born painter Carla Busuttil returns home to exhibit a series of paintings that traverse her exit from the country, and what she discovered when she left. A dedicated painter, Busuttil’s point of departure and ultimate concern is always her medium. “Within my work, it is the quality of painting that matters,” she explains. “Content is secondary – always secondary. I am not interested in constructing images that shock or dictate, and doubt whether painting, or any other medium, retains the power to do so.”
