Two new ranges of artworks have gone on display at Government House and the US Consulate General.

Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art has announced the installation of the exhibitions which coincided with the recent visit of His Majesty King Charles III, a longstanding patron of the arts.

Sara Thom, curatorial researcher at Masterworks, said: “We are immensely proud of this new installation, which reflects both the natural beauty of our island and the depth and diversity of Bermuda’s visual culture.”

For more than 20 years, Masterworks has provided works from its permanent collection to Government House.

Now, with the completion of renovations and the Governor’s return to the restored residence, Masterworks has curated a display comprising 38 works of art, including 30 pieces from the Masterworks Collection alongside works on loan from contemporary Bermudian artists, organised through the museum.

Jasmine Lee, curator of contemporary art and head of operations, welcomed the move and said: “This display continues our long standing relationship with Government House while introducing fresh perspectives through the inclusion of works by contemporary Bermudian artists.”

Masterworks was honoured to have these works enjoyed by His Majesty, a distinguished watercolour painter whose appreciation for creativity and cultural heritage is widely recognised.

Andrew Murdoch, the Governor, said: “It was a wonderful experience to work with the Masterworks team to identify a collection of artwork to display in Government House after its renovation.

“The impressive collection can be seen by visitors to this historic building, bringing joy to many. It feels like an extension to the Masterworks gallery, and it’s a privilege to have such wonderful pieces on loan to us.”

Masterworks also provided four artworks for the US Consulate General in Bermuda.

Antoinette Hurtado, the Consul-General, said: “I am delighted to host pieces from the Masterworks Collection at the US Consulate.

“The artwork highlights the cultural connections between Bermuda and the United States and shares the beauty of this incredible island with staff and visitors.

“We are grateful to Masterworks for the opportunity to display the talents of artists inspired by Bermuda's rich landscapes.”
