Baha Mar 度假村艺术展览

考克斯曾被一位哈佛评论家描述为“一位创作精致艺术作品的质朴无华的艺术家”，他以大篇幅绘画、自然艺术品集合艺术、拼贴画和非传统版画闻名。他的作品经常参照远方和远处的创意，但是采用熟悉和寻常的材料创作而成。

考克斯于 1973 年生于拿骚，曾就读于美国罗德岛州普罗维登斯的罗德岛设计学院，并获得插画专业的美术学士学位（’95）和艺术教育专业的教育文学硕士学位（’96）。后来，他前往巴哈马大学艺术系任教六年，随后在巴哈马国家美术馆担任教育工作达四年。

目前约翰·考克斯担任 Baha Mar 的艺术总监，他已在法国、意大利、德国、香港、美国和加勒比海地区进行展览并参与交流。

约翰·保罗·萨德尔顿（John Paul Saddleton，1968 年出生于巴哈马）的绘画着重于对光的研究。他喜欢在室外写生，或直接在自然风景中创作，萨德尔顿的创作过程非常特别，他在使用摄影辅助上非常谨慎，因而其作品以绚丽的方式表现出巴哈马的陆景与海景，这些景色通常都以最其生动的光线呈现。

萨德尔顿在加拿大安大略省圭尔夫大学取得了商科学士学位，后前往英国伦敦中央圣马丁学院继续学业，学习水彩分层、玻璃处理和高级色彩理论。

这位艺术家经常接受委托创作，您可以在很多写字楼、酒店、私人收藏中看到他的作品。莱登·平林国际机场、癌症研究中心、阿达斯托花园和动物园里还能看到他的壁画作品。

“收集是创作的一部分，”雕塑家肯德拉·弗罗普 (Kendra Frorup) 这样谈论她的作品。弗罗普在巴哈马拿骚出生长大，她在自己的艺术中运用了这段时间的回忆。在巴哈马度过童年后，她得到前往美国学习的机会，并开始创作写实图像，作品与其文化展现出一定的共性。

时至今日，乔纳森仍希望在画布上再现巴哈马，他明白想要达到完美需要花费多年时间。现在，他的画作真实捕捉了巴哈马的生活和风景，展现出其壮丽与特色之处。他使用丙烯酸颜料作为介质，探索各种各样的主题，例如巴哈马的古老民居和地标、缤纷的本土植物，以及巴哈马晶莹的海水。

德尔顿·巴雷特 (Delton Barrett) 在巴哈马长大，2008 年他在 C.R. 沃克高中完成了最后一年学业，他也在那里发现了自己对艺术的兴趣。毕业后，他开始参照巴哈马旧杂志上的风景进行绘画。
巴雷特的最终目标是用身边的景色反映自我，将自己的身体融入植物之中，展现阳刚之气。他借由树根伸展至地下来展现自己的一体性。他在未经变动的景观中进行特意的安排布置，唤起人们脱离土地、进行深刻而本质性的思考，其作品呈现出这样一个问题：就如这片曾经被殖民的土地一样，他的自由，即他的身体，现在成为一种反抗殖民视角的道具。

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 2017年11月3日, 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.

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.

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 2017年11月3日, 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.
