Three Art Exhibitions To Open At BSOA

This Friday, the Bermuda Society of Arts [BSOA] will host three new exhibitions by local artists. The exhibitions consist of a group show and two solo shows.

A spokesperson said, “The Onions Gallery is home to the exhibition titled, UNRULY, the brain child of Zina Edwards. Artists were contacted to come up with work that reflects the theme.

Ms Edwards describes UNRULY: “Like many other Black people in Bermuda and across the African diaspora, I have been entangled in the dynamics of Black hair from childhood. My curls and coils, perms, and braids, have been a part of my personal expression, a marker of my ancestral heritage, and [since my transition to natural in 1989] as a totem of my personal freedom despite societal demands to tame it. The barbershop maintains its place as a key social space for Black men. The act of braiding our children’s, partners or elders hair is an intimate experience that strengthens bonds and builds memories that are unique to the culture.”

“The Edinburgh Gallery will feature the first ever solo exhibition Introducing Larussy Romero: A Journey of Abstract Art and Divine Inspiration.

“Larussy Romero, born on July 26, 1999, in the Dominican Republic and raised in Bermuda, is a talented abstract artist who embarks on an exhilarating artistic journey as she unveils her first art gallery showcasing the remarkable “Universe Summer Collection.” Inspired by the creator of the universe, Larussy’s artworks immerse viewers in a captivating exploration of Jesus and the boundless wonders of existence.

“While balancing her artistic pursuits, Larussy also excels in the world of finance, working for a prominent brokerage firm. Her passion for both art and finance showcases her multifaceted nature and her ability to infuse creativity into every aspect of her life.

“The “Universe Summer Collection” is a testament to Larussy’s profound connection with God. Through her abstract paintings, she masterfully captures the essence of the cosmic realms, bringing forth a symphony of vibrant colors, mesmerizing textures, and captivating forms. Each artwork is an invitation to delve into the infinite beauty and complexity of the universe, encouraging viewers to contemplate the magnificence of the creator’s handiwork.

“As Larussy unveils her first art gallery, she welcomes art enthusiasts and spiritual seekers alike to embark on a visual voyage of discovery. The “Universe Summer Collection” showcases Larussy’s unique abstract style, where intuition guides her brushstrokes and emotions take shape on the canvas. It is a collection that invites viewers to pause, reflect, and experience the profound beauty that lies beyond the tangible world.

“With her debut art gallery, Larussy Romero invites you to witness the harmonious blend of artistry and spirituality. Her captivating abstract paintings, inspired by the creator of the universe, carry a message of awe, wonder, and the power of artistic expression. Step into the gallery, immerse yourself in the colors of the cosmos, and let the “Universe Summer Collection” transport you to a realm where art, faith, and the beauty of creation intertwine.

“Studios A & B will feature the second solo show of mixed media artist Lance Tucker Jr. The show is titled, DNA Discovery. The artists says about his show: “A beginning of learning a different Cultural Discovery of who I am as a person on Earth outside of knowing that I’m of African descent.”

“All exhibitions will run from Friday July 21 – August 16 2023.”
