An art show will put a spotlight on the works of several young visual artists.

A New Generation will feature exhibits from 12 artists all aged under 35 — some of which were created for this very show.

Sophia Tessitore, who curated the selection, said: “I feel that each of these artists represent various facets of Bermuda and what it means to be Bermudian.

“They also represent a range of different artistic skills and mediums from photography, mixed media, painting and pencil drawing.

“Most importantly, they each have a unique voice and artistic vision.”

The show will be hosted at Rock Island Coffee, which will display the work for two months after the opening show.

It will feature works by Art Broken Club, Yassine the Artist, Jayde Gibbons, Nashon Hollis, Phoebe Hughes, Tristan Narraway, Jasthegemini, Makim Ori, DaeLyn Saint-Surin, Nicole Smith, Sophie Stubbs and Chyna Talbot.

The work will also be available for purchase.

Ms Tessitore said that she wanted to give the artists full freedom on creating and submitting their artwork.

She added: “In the past few years, we have seen a renaissance of contemporary artwork that reflects a diverse range of technique and style, both in the abstract and realist styles of art — presenting innovative and thought-provoking concepts relevant to today’s Bermuda and what that means to us.”

The art show will be held at Rock Island Coffee on Reid Street in Hamilton on Friday between 5.30pm and 7.30pm. Beverages will be provided by Goslings.
