Showcasing Bermuda's Contemporary Artists
The Rick Faries Gallery was originally created to support Bermuda's artists; providing a dedicated space, alongside our Permanent Collection, for working artists to exhibit works for sale. In an effort to expand the reach of the Rick Faries Gallery, an online gallery was created, providing local artists with an additional platform to exhibit and sell.
The Rick Faries Gallery brings people closer to the art and artists they love, in person, and online.

NOT ALL HAS TO BE AS IT WAS features Bermudian multidisciplinary artist Gherdai Hassell. Currently living and working in the UK, Hassell is returning home for her first-ever exhibition at Masterworks.
Inspired by the landscapes found in the Masterworks Collection, NOT ALL HAS TO BE AS IT WAS seeks to conceptually and materially reimagine the painted landscape. Hassell presents her distinctive 'Alibii' figures as ‘Land Lords,’ caretakers of the land and guardians of the ‘Onion Seed,’ inspired by author Nellie Musson, atop a landscape of collaged archival images, historical land documents and maps. Through this Hassell layers the fabric of the past with visions of a newly imagined present.
Hassell's 'Land Lord' paintings and 'Geographies of Expansion' collage series featured in the exhibition are available for purchase. Click here to browse works.
As part of the Bermuda Tourism Authority's Art Month, Masterworks is delighted to be collaborating with The Loren for Flora in Flux: Shaping Identity, an exhibition of new sculptural works by local artists Claire Peverelli and Stratton Hatfield.
Featuring organic forms juxtaposed with rigid concrete, these sculptures explore Bermuda's evolving identity through its changing landscape of endemic, native, and invasive plant species, which offer a metaphor for the Island's shifting demographics.

Flora in Flux opened on October 1 and has been extended until November 11.
