In 2025, artist and TBSSS carving teacher Elena Murgia will be coordinating and curating the Clara Street Gallery. We thank Elena for taking on the space and we are look forward to seeing lots of sculpture in 2025!

Currently in the Gallery, is a group exhibition featuring sculptures created in Usama Alnassar’s Intensive Marble Carving Workshops.

Human Expression in Marble

“This exhibition aims to celebrate the work of students and guest marble carving teacher Usama Alnassar.

The theme is timeless, the human expression trapped in a stone or released from it.

From figurative works to some degree of abstraction in a couple of small-scale torsos, these sculptures capture the eloquence of representation.

The exhibition showcases the carving process from refined to unfinished pieces, inviting the viewer to both look at the intermediate phases where possible alternatives can be considered, and to simply engage with the beauty of the medium itself as the figure emerges from its roughness.” – Elena Murgia
