Opening Friday, November 7 in the Rick Faries Gallery is Metanoia featuring the work of Charles Harrop-Griffiths and Ajani Tucker. Metanoia is an exploration of what constitutes the ‘real’. The exhibition examines how digital processes shape, distort, and redefine our understanding of the material world. Both artists are concerned with how works that exist in digital space are rendered—or translated—from metaobjects into tangible art objects.

Charles Harrop-Griffiths is a London born British Mixed Media artist currently residing in Bermuda. His work balances on the edge of a physical and digital art process in response to the imbalance between reality and technology today. He produces etchings, paintings, photography as well as a wide range of digitally produced images, animations and Virtual Reality experiences. His subjects differ widely, but relate closely to the impact of technology on society. He has a keen interest in the importance of architecture, nature and history which he attempts to reflect in his work. Charles has a background working in the film and architecture industries, and studied Art History BA at University of Nottingham, and Fine Art MA at University of the Arts London.

Ajani Tucker is a Graphic Designer and 3D Artist based in Bermuda. His work lives at the intersection of digital art and animation, with a style that’s contemporary, abstract, and deeply rooted in optical play. Whether it’s on screen or in print, he aims to create pieces that feel like they’re in motion—alive with energy, colour, and illusion. While I’m formally trained in graphic design, my journey into 3D and animation has been entirely self-taught. That hands-on experimentation has shaped a practice that leans into bright, bold palettes and unexpected forms. He is not driven by a single inspiration, but he has always been drawn to the vibrancy of colour and the way it can transform a visual experience. Over the past four years, he has exhibited locally and internationally, including being selected for the Charman Prize Exhibition with an AR art piece as well as being exhibited at The Loren Hotel in Austin Texas. He views each project as a chance to push his ideas further and blur the line between still image and animation.

Metanoia will be available to view until December 2, 2025. Works will be available to purchase on the Rick Faries Gallery website or in person, from the night of the opening until the exhibition closes.
