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.

Descendants of Summer: A Preview by Bermudian photographer Nicola Muirhead is on display from October 4 - 29. The exhibition features a selection of works from Muirhead's ongoing documentary series Descendants of Summer, an eight-year photographic journey examining Bermuda's rich and complex heritage. The series explores the stories of our heroes and heroines, our ghosts and demons, and ultimately the tales that bind us - unpacking the diverse narratives that make up place and identity in Bermuda.
Join us for an Artist Talk with Nicola Muirhead at Masterworks on Monday, October 28, from 5:30-7pm, to hear more about the inspiration behind the series and Nicola's wider work.
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.
