William Collieson began his career after art school as a window display artists. His award winning windows featured the same elements one finds in his artwork: contradictions, paradoxes, and ironies. Collieson's work is characterised by its satirical humour, the variety of unconventional materials, and by the continual probing of the boundaries of art. Working with found objects and imagery that we can red and understand easily, Collieson reconnects these objects so that they take on a whole other layer of meaning or memory.

a fifth generation Bermudian, Jason Harris went from painting houses to creating paintings of houses. Drawn to Bermudian architecture, it seems natural that he creates a three-dimensional quality by using the same "mud" medium as that of a house painter. Jason Harris' work speaks of a realism where one can feel each ridge on a roof or blade of grass on both a physical and emotional level.

Bermudian artist, Sheilagh Head is continually fascinated in trying to capture the transient and unique quality of Bermuda's light and colours. She admits to being less interested in the figurative reality before her, than in the spirit and rhythm of the overall scene. "My paintings are still about the land, sea and sky, but more and more, they become an abstract expression of a grand design and interconnection".

British artists Michael Jackson has travelled around the world to sketch and photograph his subjects in order to capture their very essence in its natural habitat. In his paintings, every detail of flora and fauna is accurately represented, light brings everything to life and shadow describes form and texture. An early devotion to wildlife has left to environmental awareness and wildlife conservation. Michael Jackson's wish is to preserve our natural heritage through his work.
When the artists painted the two small portraits in this exhibition, he had no idea that the gallery was a sponsor of the work of the Coalition for the Protection of Children, a most worthy and excellent cause that has truly transformed the lives of children and families in Bermuda. The two paintings reflect the innocence of children and emphasize not only their vulnerability but also the joy they can bring in to our lives.

French artist, Olivier Martin's neolithis aspect sculptures remind us of a more poetic world. The sensuous curves demonstrate a deep understanding and appreciation of the female nude and the forms depict his vision of womankind with a hint of "Art Deco". His creations are mostly in private collections in Europe and this is the first time he has exhibited in Bermuda.

A self-taught artist from Bermuda, Kevin Morris has been a professional painter for the past twenty years. It was through his previous work as a house painter, and later specializing in decorative/faux finishes, that he made the transition into art. Exhibiting in various shows in Bermuda, England and Greece since 2001, his general goal when creating art, is to give something to the viewer that they will have to study in depth, to fully absorb the information presented.
Using words, images and colour, along with shape and texture, Kevin Morris builds up the picture’s surface, layer upon layer, until he feels there is a pleasing overall balance, and a visually interesting and unified composition allowing the ideas to evolve naturally.

DFG is proud to represent Bernard once again and can also assist with arranging private commissions.

The gallery is exhibiting a portrait of Camille Claudel by Auguste Rodin. Rodin (1840-1917) is generally considered the progenitor of modern sculpture, modeling the human body realism and celebrating individual character and physicality. Rodin met Camille Claudel in 1883; she became both his must and fellow sculptor, forming a passionate relationship as well as influencing each other artistically. The bust at DFG is a contemporary bronze cast, stamped reproduction, from a Rodin original plaster found in a dusty corner of a French foundry.

Marine and classical artist, Eldon Triminghamm III's sensitive marine paintings glow from the rich layering of tints which give his work a luminosity that is rare to find in contemporary painting. While this Bermudian artist's work is collected internationally, his paintings are scarce due to a very limited output. Mr. Trimingham spends months researching and painting to complete each small masterpiece.
Otto Trott has been painting and exhibiting locally for thirty year, capturing colour and light. Using Bermuda as his inspiration, he finds subject matter that is visually exciting to the viewer and a challenge to paint whether it be a landscape, seascape or Bermudians at work and play.

Her subject matter is that which can best express direction, shape, movement, shadow and light; plants and flowers are exceptionally valuable in this regard and have the added benefit of exquisite colour. Look for the translucent quality and luminosity in the work of long time exhibiting artist of Bermuda, Tracy williams.
