Labro's Revelation is a revelation. Being held at The Ursula Hall, Cittadella Art Centre, Citadel, Victoria, GOZO - it is a sight and experience to behold. A wonderful backdrop for Labro's vibrant art extravangza. Saturday evening whilst Gozo was alive and bursting with joy, celebration and pride in its culture, was visited by thousands, the majority from it's sister island Malta and delighted visitors from overseas. Labro's exhibition was the venue for an event of 200 people. Labro's exhibition was visited by the Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi and his wife, attended the soiree celebrating the fantastic Gozo 1234 weekend on the top of the bastion with Labro's latest creations as the pick of a living culture. The exhibition was also visited by the Minister for Gozo, The Honorable Giovanna Debono, The Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism, The Honorable Dr. Mario deMarco and The Parliamentary Secretary, The Honorable Dr. Chris Said. The Mayor of Victoria Mr. Robert Tabone and the Mayor of Gharb, Mr. David Apap also visited the exhibition.

Reimagined and redefined.
Right on the heels of Raphael Labro's critically honored Rebirth and Awakening exhibitions, the artist brings us a new vision. A revitalized symbolistic series of dazzling pieces that goes beyond the status quo of accepted prophecies.

Here Labro re-opens the book long shut and declares that now is the time of Reawakening of understanding..., the portal to the future. Showcasing an intriguing blend of styles, highlighting his versatility of mind and talent we see past, present and future in different aspects. Abstracted images of mankind. The colors laid in bold strokes of red and gold with an intense depth that speaks to the turbulence of our history. The boldly displayed Third Eye, peering out at us. We are held entranced by the unwavering wisdom and love. Understated but immensely powerful at the same time.

Revelation, the exhibition is open to the public until 19th May 2008 from 8a.m. to 4 p.m. at the St Ursula Hall, Cittadella Art Centre next to the Museum of Archeology, Citadel, Victoria, Gozo Labro's Revelation is "on tour", the next venue being the credible and majestic Cotoner Hall, MCC in Valletta, Malta from 12th - 21st June 2008 (Mon – Sat, 11 am to 4 pm & Sun 11 am - 1 pm.)

For Raphael Labro Fund Raising Art Exhibition, it is important to give something back to Gozo island and therefore he will help a major cause, the Tree 4 Gharb environmental project. Noting the importance of creating the right environment for his children, the children of Gozo and Malta, and on a larger scale as his art expresses, the children of the entire world. As he so firmly believes, "Planting a tree is the simplest action for our future survival."
