Já classificado por um crítico de Harvard como "um artista não sofisticado que produz arte sofisticada", Cox é conhecido por pinturas de grande formato, montagem de objetos encontrados, colagem e gravuras não tradicionais. Seu trabalho frequentemente faz referência a ideias e lugares distantes, mas é executado com materiais comuns e cotidianos.

Nascido em Nassau em 1973, Cox frequentou a Escola de Design de Rhode Island, em Providence, Rhode Island, onde concluiu o BFA em Ilustração (’95) e o MAT em Educação Artística (’96). Mais tarde, ele passou a lecionar no Departamento de Arte da Faculdade das Bahamas por seis anos, seguido por quatro anos trabalhando no departamento de educação da Galeria Nacional de Arte das Bahamas.

Atualmente atuando como diretor de arte do Baha Mar, Cox expôs seu trabalho e participou de intercâmbios na França, Itália, Alemanha, Hong Kong, Estados Unidos e Caribe.

As pinturas de John Paul Saddleton (nascido em 1968, Bahamas) são um estudo sobre a luz. Trabalhando ao ar livre, ou diretamente a partir da paisagem, seu processo é excepcional, pois ele usa ajudantes fotográficos racionalmente, o que resulta em deslumbrantes representações da paisagem e do panorama das Bahamas, muitas vezes retratada em sua luz mais vívida.

Saddleton concluiu seu Bacharelado em Comércio na Universidade de Guelph, em Ontário, Canadá, e continuou sua formação no Central Saint Martin's em Londres, Inglaterra, onde estudou sobreposição de aquarela, manipulação de vidro e teoria avançada de cores.   

O artista frequentemente tem seu trabalho comissionado; você pode ver suas pinturas em muitos escritórios, hotéis e coleções particulares. Seus murais também podem ser encontrados no Aeroporto Internacional Lyndin Pindling, no Centro de Pesquisa de Câncer e no Jardim Ardastara e no Zoológico.

“Acumular faz parte do processo”, afirma a escultora Kendra Frorup sobre sua obra de arte. Frorup nasceu e cresceu em Nassau, Bahamas, e usa suas memórias dessa época em sua arte. Depois de uma infância nas Bahamas, ela teve a oportunidade de estudar nos Estados Unidos e começou a criar imagens representativas que mostram uma convergência com sua cultura.

Até hoje, o desejo de Jonathan de recriar as Bahamas em telas permanece e ele aprendeu que demora muitos anos para chegar à perfeição. Hoje, suas pinturas capturam realisticamente a majestade e o caráter da vida e do cenário das Bahamas. Usando tinta acrílica como seu meio, ele explora uma grande variedade de assuntos, como casas e marcos históricos das Bahamas, plantas nativas coloridas e, claro, as águas luminosas das Bahamas.

Delton Barrett cresceu e passou sua infância nas Bahamas, completando seu último ano na Escola Secundária C.R. Walker em 2008, quando ele descobriu seu interesse pela arte. Depois de deixar a escola, ele passou a investir seu tempo na pintura de cenários de revistas antigas das Bahamas.
O maior objetivo de Barrett é refletir-se dentro da paisagem que o rodeia para espelhar sua masculinidade dentro da folhagem em que ele mescla seu corpo. Ele afirma sua singularidade a partir de raízes de árvores que se estendem bastante no subsolo. Sua inserção intencional dentro de uma paisagem intocada comunica a necessidade de ser visto profundamente, intrinsecamente distante da terra de uma maneira que traz à tona a questão da sua própria liberdade: seu corpo, como a terra colonizada, é agora um propulsor da rebelião contra o olhar colonial.

ANTONIUS ROBERTS, OBE (b.1958 Nassau, The Bahamas) has one daughter Ayla Antonia Roberts and is married to Dr Annette Warren-Roberts. Roberts graduated in 1981 from the Philadelphia College of Art (now the University of the Arts), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a BFA in Painting.  As the former coordinator of FINCO Summer Art Workshops and as a teacher and lecturer at Government High School and The College of The Bahamas (now University of The Bahamas), Roberts has mentored a generation of young Bahamian artists.  He conceived of and coordinated the first Junior Junkanoo competition and parade in 1983, celebrating ten years of Bahamian Independence. He served as the Curator of The Central Bank of The Bahamas’ Art Gallery until 2017, and was the architect and coordinator of their annual Competitions and Exhibitions until 2006; and played a supportive role in the restoration of the former Villa Doyle and its conversion to the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas.  Additionally Roberts founded The Bahamian Art Gallery in 1991 which was responsible for the reintroduction of master artists Kendal Hanna and Jo Monks – USA Boy. That same year he curated the largest exhibition of Amos Ferguson’s work at The Central Bank of The Bahamas Art Gallery and encouraged The Right Honorable Prime Minister of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas Sir Lynden Pindling to approve the purchase of twenty five (25) paintings from that exhibition. These paintings formed the beginning of the National Art Collection of The Bahamas. In recognition of his contribution to national development in the arts, Roberts was a recipient of a Commonwealth of The Bahamas Silver Jubilee Award and of the E. Clement Bethel Award from The College of The Bahamas, as well as the Ministry of Tourism’s Cacique Award for the Arts in 2000.  As an artist Roberts has participated in exhibitions around the world and has mounted many within The Bahamas.  In 2005 Roberts spent one month in Pietrasanta, Italy working in marble and granite as part of the International Professional Artist Symposium and Exchange. In 2006 he was invited to exhibit in Changchun, China and his 12’ bronze sculpture is permanently installed there.  As a sculptor Roberts is best known for the first Sacred Space project at the historic Clifton Heritage site. This work was expanded by the installation at the Blake Road Welcome Centre.  Another group of Sacred Women travelled to Wiesbaden, Germany for the Funky Nassau Exhibition and then were exhibited at The Nassau Art Gallery of The Bahamas, with a similar installation now forming part of The Grand Bahama Heritage Foundation. On 3 de novembro de 2017, The Cove at Atlantis, Paradise Island debuted a permanent art installation “Sacred Space” on the tip of The Cove’s peninsula. This sculpture series, represents seven dancing women who each depict the intention of triumph, hope, determination and a vision to help conserve Bahamian Heritage. As an open space designer, in 2009 Roberts designed and directed the creation of the seven acre park at Centreville House, an integral part of the revitalization programme in downtown Nassau. In 2011 he participated in the Master Artists of The Bahamas Exhibition at the Waterloo Centre for the Arts in Iowa. His artwork Bubbles was installed as part of the expansion of the Lynden Pindling International Airport’s final phase in 2013. Roberts was the Artist in Residence at Schooner Bay, Abaco, for several years, and in 2017 established a relationship with the Island School in Eleuthera. In 2012, he opened an art gallery and studio on Cumberland Street in a centuries’ old historic building known as Hillside House, which has become an active centre for the creative community. His ethos connecting man’s spiritual and emotional nature and nature itself, and his desire to record and honour Bahamian heritage, is inherent in all of his paintings and sculptures.
A member of The Charitable Arts Foundation for over twenty years, Roberts along with other council members, continue to raise significant funding for the creative community in The Bahamas. These funds are available on an annual bases for art education, grants for short and full length films, art projects, music projects, play writers, poets, musicians and support of national art institutions.

Guilden M. Gilbert, Jr. was born and raised in Bermuda in 1966.

His mother says he always showed a fascination for cameras. He did not take photography seriously until at the age of 14, while participating in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme he needed to chose a hobby, photography was a natural fit. This is where he began to not only shoot but also learned how to develop film and print images in the darkroom. It was at this point where photography became a very large part of his life. Unfortunately, professional photographers were unwilling to teach photography as many feared the student would become a competitor. Guilden learn photography on his own, one image on one roll of film at time, he took notes of each shot he captured and when receiving the film back from the lab he would analyze what he did right and what he did wrong and began to understand why things worked and why they did not, this allowed him to learned the craft of photography. His parents were very supportive, in 1981 they bought him his first 35mm SLR camera, a Canon AE-1 and on this he would shoot between 8 and 10 rolls of film a week. He had this camera and continued to produce images with until it was stolen in 1999.

Guilden relocated to Nassau, the Bahamas in 1997 with his wife of 6 years, they recently celebrated 27 years of marriage and have two children, both born in the Bahamas.

Although much of his work is landscape/seascape, he has become known as a Sports Photographer having been contracted to shoot the IAAF World Relays, CARIFTA Games, FIFA World Cup Qualifier between Bermuda and the Bahamas, FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, he also shoots swim events and went home to Bermuda specifically to capture some of the America’s Cup races. He was also recently featured in N Photo Magazine, a Nikon-centric globally distributed magazine for his Sports Photography work. Guilden has also had numerous images selected by Blank Wall, an Athens, Greece art gallery for exhibit. He recently received Honourable Mention in two large global photography contests, the International Photographers Award and the Tokyo International Foto Awards. His work has been purchased and hangs on walls globally.

Guilden is also an executive and photographer with the Bahamian Project, a project designed to capture portraits of average Bahamians with the view to establishing a National Portrait Archive.

Today Guilden has come full circle and is once again shooting and developing film, specifically Medium Format film. He says, “There is just something organic about shooting film and there is nothing quite like the feeling of pulling a developed roll of film out of the developing cannister to see the images created. Shooting film will certainly test your knowledge of proper exposure and composition because the negative does not lie about what you have produced.”

Guilden, along with another local photographer made a decision, two years ago, that they will teach photography because to have gained so much knowledge over nearly 40 years of photograph and not share that knowledge does a dis-service to the art form. The class range from Beginner’s Photography to Advanced Studio and Outdoor Lighting and are held in partnership with Queen’s College Centre for Further Education.

“Não há progresso em repetir constantemente o que já foi feito.” Este tema ressoa fortemente através da arte e da vida do artista visual nascido nas Bahamas, Allan Pachino Wallace. Portanto, não é de surpreender que ele esteja entre um dos contribuintes mais originais da arte bahamense. Aos trinta e sete anos de idade, Allan exala uma sensação de conforto na prática de seu dom artístico, consistentemente desafiando-se a se superar. Allan nasceu em 11 de março de 1979. Apenas dois anos depois, inspirado por seu tio O’Brian Wallace, Allan pegou um lápis de pintura artística pela primeira vez e, desde então, os dois se tornaram inseparáveis.

“Acumular faz parte do processo”, afirma a escultora Kendra Frorup sobre sua obra de arte. Frorup nasceu e cresceu em Nassau, Bahamas, e usa suas memórias dessa época em sua arte. Depois de uma infância nas Bahamas, ela teve a oportunidade de estudar nos Estados Unidos e começou a criar imagens representativas que mostram uma convergência com sua cultura.

ANTONIUS ROBERTS, OBE (b.1958 Nassau, The Bahamas) has one daughter Ayla Antonia Roberts and is married to Dr Annette Warren-Roberts. Roberts graduated in 1981 from the Philadelphia College of Art (now the University of the Arts), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a BFA in Painting.  As the former coordinator of FINCO Summer Art Workshops and as a teacher and lecturer at Government High School and The College of The Bahamas (now University of The Bahamas), Roberts has mentored a generation of young Bahamian artists.  He conceived of and coordinated the first Junior Junkanoo competition and parade in 1983, celebrating ten years of Bahamian Independence. He served as the Curator of The Central Bank of The Bahamas’ Art Gallery until 2017, and was the architect and coordinator of their annual Competitions and Exhibitions until 2006; and played a supportive role in the restoration of the former Villa Doyle and its conversion to the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas.  Additionally Roberts founded The Bahamian Art Gallery in 1991 which was responsible for the reintroduction of master artists Kendal Hanna and Jo Monks – USA Boy. That same year he curated the largest exhibition of Amos Ferguson’s work at The Central Bank of The Bahamas Art Gallery and encouraged The Right Honorable Prime Minister of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas Sir Lynden Pindling to approve the purchase of twenty five (25) paintings from that exhibition. These paintings formed the beginning of the National Art Collection of The Bahamas. In recognition of his contribution to national development in the arts, Roberts was a recipient of a Commonwealth of The Bahamas Silver Jubilee Award and of the E. Clement Bethel Award from The College of The Bahamas, as well as the Ministry of Tourism’s Cacique Award for the Arts in 2000.  As an artist Roberts has participated in exhibitions around the world and has mounted many within The Bahamas.  In 2005 Roberts spent one month in Pietrasanta, Italy working in marble and granite as part of the International Professional Artist Symposium and Exchange. In 2006 he was invited to exhibit in Changchun, China and his 12’ bronze sculpture is permanently installed there.  As a sculptor Roberts is best known for the first Sacred Space project at the historic Clifton Heritage site. This work was expanded by the installation at the Blake Road Welcome Centre.  Another group of Sacred Women travelled to Wiesbaden, Germany for the Funky Nassau Exhibition and then were exhibited at The Nassau Art Gallery of The Bahamas, with a similar installation now forming part of The Grand Bahama Heritage Foundation. On 3 de novembro de 2017, The Cove at Atlantis, Paradise Island debuted a permanent art installation “Sacred Space” on the tip of The Cove’s peninsula. This sculpture series, represents seven dancing women who each depict the intention of triumph, hope, determination and a vision to help conserve Bahamian Heritage. As an open space designer, in 2009 Roberts designed and directed the creation of the seven acre park at Centreville House, an integral part of the revitalization programme in downtown Nassau. In 2011 he participated in the Master Artists of The Bahamas Exhibition at the Waterloo Centre for the Arts in Iowa. His artwork Bubbles was installed as part of the expansion of the Lynden Pindling International Airport’s final phase in 2013. Roberts was the Artist in Residence at Schooner Bay, Abaco, for several years, and in 2017 established a relationship with the Island School in Eleuthera. In 2012, he opened an art gallery and studio on Cumberland Street in a centuries’ old historic building known as Hillside House, which has become an active centre for the creative community. His ethos connecting man’s spiritual and emotional nature and nature itself, and his desire to record and honour Bahamian heritage, is inherent in all of his paintings and sculptures.
A member of The Charitable Arts Foundation for over twenty years, Roberts along with other council members, continue to raise significant funding for the creative community in The Bahamas. These funds are available on an annual bases for art education, grants for short and full length films, art projects, music projects, play writers, poets, musicians and support of national art institutions.

“Não há progresso em repetir constantemente o que já foi feito.” Este tema ressoa fortemente através da arte e da vida do artista visual nascido nas Bahamas, Allan Pachino Wallace. Portanto, não é de surpreender que ele esteja entre um dos contribuintes mais originais da arte bahamense. Aos trinta e sete anos de idade, Allan exala uma sensação de conforto na prática de seu dom artístico, consistentemente desafiando-se a se superar. Allan nasceu em 11 de março de 1979. Apenas dois anos depois, inspirado por seu tio O’Brian Wallace, Allan pegou um lápis de pintura artística pela primeira vez e, desde então, os dois se tornaram inseparáveis.

Já classificado por um crítico de Harvard como "um artista não sofisticado que produz arte sofisticada", Cox é conhecido por pinturas de grande formato, montagem de objetos encontrados, colagem e gravuras não tradicionais.

Kendal Hanna (born 1936, Nassau, The Bahamas) is one of the country’s earliest abstract expressionists.  In his early career,  Hanna worked figuratively,  but as he progressed,  his work became increasingly abstract and self-referential.  He characterizes his work as his “subconscious mind expressing itself on the canvas.”  Hanna went through a phase of painting using only black and white, but after treatment for illness, he began using color more extensively.  Today, he paints in both colour and black and white, and alternates between pure abstractionism and capturing subjects, often himself or close friends, in a more realistic style.   

Hanna always dreamed of being “trained in art” and left for New York City in early adulthood to study fine art, but had to return to Nassau to look after his ailing mother and was never able to realize his dream of attending art school.  Later, Hanna studied marine biology and then worked in the post office in Nassau.  During his breaks, he visited Nassau’s fabled Chelsea Pottery and soon became one of their first apprentices, along with Max Taylor and Brent Malone.  An avid reader of the art books found at the Pottery,  he learned about the work of European artists and was inspired to turn to painting. Hanna also met many visiting artists and sculptors who came to Nassau, among them Hildegard Hamilton and famous American muralist John St. John.  Hanna was influenced by their work and they encouraged him to pursue his art.   

His first exhibition was held in 1992 in Nassau and then at The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas,  a restored colonial mansion formerly known as the Villa Doyle.  Hanna remembers accompanying his mother to work and looking at the Villa Doyle opposite. “I would never realize that my paintings would be shown in this place, you know it’s sort of unbelievable,” he says about seeing his work hanging in the Gallery now.  Hanna had exhibitions at the new Providence Art and Antiques Gallery in 2005 and 2006, the second exhibit showing many of his self-portraits.  He moved into Popup Galleries in 2007 where he is still the artist in residence. In 2011, a major retrospective of his life’s work was shown at the NAGB.   In 2015, Hanna was selected to exhibit at Volta Art Fair in NYC.  A documentary, Brigidy Bram, tells the story of Hanna’s life and working processes.
