‘New Generation’ Show To Feature Young Artists
The opening of ‘A New Generation’ — an art show featuring the works of 12 local artists under the age of 35 – will be held at Rock Island Coffee on Reid Street on Friday, March 21st from 5:30-7:30pm.
A spokesperson said, “We are excited to announce the opening of ‘A New Generation’: an independently curated art show. Please join us on Friday, March 21st from 5:30-7:30 pm for the opening reception hosted by Rock Island Coffee on 48 Reid Street; with beverage options kindly sponsored by Gosling’s Ltd. This exhibition will showcase the works of 12 unique artists, all under the age of 35, featuring both original and limited edition pieces.
“Curator Sophia Tessitore, inspired by the up and coming generation of local talent, has selected a variety of artworks from these following creatives: Art Broken Club, Yassine the Artist, jasthegemini, Jayde Gibbons, Nashon Hollis, Phoebe Hughes, Tristan Narraway, Makim Ori, DaeLyn Saint-Surin, Nicole Smith, Sophie Stubbs and Chyna Talbot.”
Describing this group of talent, she states, “In the past few years, we have seen a renaissance of contemporary artwork that reflects a diverse range of technique and style, both in the abstract and realist styles of art – presenting innovative and thought provoking concepts relevant to today’s Bermuda and what that means to us. It was important that I gave artists full creative freedom in creating and selecting their submissions for this show, allowing them to interpret this theme as they wish.
“I feel that each of these artists represent various facets of Bermuda and what it means to be Bermudian. They also represent a range of different artistic skills and mediums from photography, mixed media, painting and pencil drawing. Most importantly – they each have a unique voice and artistic vision. There are several original works made for this exhibition, which I am honoured to present.”
The spokesperson said, “All artwork will be for sale and on display at Rock Island Coffee for two months following the opening night, which includes original and limited edition pieces. We look forward to seeing you there.”
