Jan Fabre. Ecstasy & Oracles

July 7, 2018 - November 4, 2018

The scarab, ancient symbol of metamorphosis and an early alter-ego of artist Jan Fabre – the holy dung beetle of Antwerp – is central to the exhibition in Monreale. Small bronzes refer to the vital quest of the artist while the life-size bronze sculpture, The man who bears the cross, balances the limits of faith. A cycle of large mosaics made with jewel beetle wing-cases explores the eternal cycle of life and death, reoccurring in Vanitas vanitatum, omnia vanitas. On show for the first time in Europe, in Sicily.

Curated by Joanna De Vos and Melania Rossi

Opening Hours:
Monday – Saturday 9.00 – 19.00
