JANUARY - MARCH, 2011 Sarah & Patrick Vandenberg Patrick and Sarah brought a variety of artistic skills with them to Bermuda. Patrick is a wood sculptor, and Sarah is an art teacher and an artist who works in multiple mediums. Sarah and Patrick both brought experience in community and classroom art making, and unique skills and artistic perspectives in their disciplines. Both artists were deeply inspired by nature, and express this through their chosen mediums. Together their skills complimented each other and added much to the Masterworks Artist in Residence programme. Their enquiry into nature also celebrated the current Bermudiana Collection exhibition Floral Lane which explores Bermuda's progression from endemic species to today's mosaic of botanical life.
OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2010 Mari Hill Harpur Mari Hill Harpur, hails from Montreal, Canada. Mari’s artistic practice focuses primarily in photography, where she specializes in silver gelatin printing. Mari was guest curator for the current Bermuda Professional Photographic Association Biennial featured at Masterworks and on view during Mari’s slideshow event. Whilst in Bermuda from October through December, Mari photographed agricultural and fishery practices on the Island using digital photography methods. A lover of the outdoors, Mari is also a businesswoman, with her parallel career in forestry and farming supporting her strong artistic eye for natural beauty. Mari is also a Trustee of The Camargo Foundation in Cassis, France and a director and past chair of The World Forestry Center in Portland, Oregon. JULY - SEPTEMBER 2010 Gustav Vermeulen Gustav Vermeulen, came from Pretoria, South Africa and was educated at the University of Pretoria in Fine Arts, Gustav is the Academic Head and Lecturer in Drawing and Illustration at The Open Window School of Visual Communication in Pretoria.
Gustav's artistic practice focuses in the production of paintings, drawings, and mixed media works. Subject matter emcompassed in his recent artwork are representational landscapes with abstracted geometric forms within, and detailed drawings of ships, shipyards, and scaffold-like structural builds situated within landscape scenes. Gustav writes about his work, "The landscape, actual or imaginary, is perhaps one of the strongest and most universal cultural metaphors. For this reason I choose primarily to investigate the landscape in my art. As a painter and draughtsperson, I am concerned with creating spaces that meander between the real and imaginary world and between the physically possible, and the mentally constructed world...I frequently make use of symbolism to reveal the nature of a specific landscape. These symbols make reference to nature and history, the scars it bears and what it comest to represent to its people, hinting at its ever changing role in our lives. Through the landscape I explore socio-political environments, cultural influences and physical beauty. This approach means that these multi-layered and extremely detailed drawings often become 'living' spaces that provide a a tangible space within which to explore our own nature."
Gustav writes on Bermuda, "As a painter I was immediately struck by how the light in Bermuda differs from that of Africa. I was particularly interested by its melodic quality, its subtlety compared to the severe and often stark lighting conditions encountered in the African landscape. I also found the history of the island intriguiing. Its unique architecture, the town planning and the tropical character of the island provided much inspiration. On my return to South Africa I immediately committed my impressions to canvas and successfully exhibited those works. The recreation of those memories from photographic imagery was however somewhat frustrating. I feel the only way to do justice to the staggering subtleties and nuances of the land will be to paint the Bermudian landscape."
