Art Month Opening Event: "Meet Us In The Onion Patch" by Jahbarri Wilson Exhibition Opening

Opening October 1, to mark the beginning of the Bermuda Tourism Authority's Art Month, Bermudian artist Jahbarri Wilson will present a solo exhibition, Meet Us In The Onion Patch, in the Maree Lounge at The Loren. The exhibition is the fourth in a continuing partnership between Masterworks Museum and The Loren, designed to showcase local artists beyond traditional gallery spaces.

Wilson's vivid canvases blend abstraction with loose figuration, creating works that feel both intentional and spontaneous. His practice is driven by curiosity—about Bermudian history, global cultures, and the expressive possibilities of painting.

In 2024, Wilson received a Bermuda Arts Council grant for an artist residency in Peru. There, he explored local traditions, learning to source and process natural pigments as well as foraging clay. This experience reflects his broader approach: drawing inspiration from his travels, building cultural connections, and highlighting the shared threads of human experience. Wilson views creation as a form of play—mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual—that allows him to explore the essence of Bermuda and its people.

The exhibition will be on view from October 1-31, 2025, with a public opening reception the opening event of Art Month on Wednesday, October 1, from 6-8pm in the Maree Lounge, at The Loren.

The opening reception is sponsored by the Bermuda Tourism Authority, The Loren, and Goslings Limited.
