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.

Coming Soon...

Balustrade Cavalcade by Alex Allardyce will open in the Rick Faries Gallery on November 29. This exhibition will showcase a series of new reduction linocut prints by Allardyce inspired by Victorian "gingerbread" fretwork balustrades, a disappearing trait of older Bermuda buildings. With a background as an architect, Alex finds inspiration through the colours and forms of the island's buildings and its particular light, reflected in this exhibition.

  • Balustrade Cavalcade will be on view from November 29 - December 28. There will be an opening reception on November 29 from 5:30 - 7pm at Masterworks. Click here to RSVP.

  • Hear from Alex at his Artist Talk on December 5 in the Rick Faries Gallery from 5:30 - 7pm. Tickets can be reserved here.
