Saturday January 25, 2026, The Gallery at Windsor hosted the opening of Rana Begum: Reflection, the artist’s first major solo exhibition in the United States, which was curated by Daniel S. Palmer, Chief Curator of the SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah, Georgia, and collaboratively organized by the two institutions. The exhibition will remain on view at The Gallery at Windsor through May 8, 2026.

The opening reception was hosted by Galen Weston and attended by Windsor residents and VIP guests. During the celebration, Ms. Begum and Mr. Palmer engaged in a lively panel discussion in which they discussed her studio practice over the last ten years, touching upon her use of color, light, and form and how her work resonated with Windsor’s timeless architecture and the tropical radiance of the community’s surroundings. Following the conversation, Mr. Weston hosted a celebratory dinner at Windsor’s Clubhouse veranda.

“The Gallery’s exhibition list is impressive and represents the longstanding curatorial focus at Windsor led by my beloved mother Hilary Weston. She was excited about today’s exhibition, Reflection by Rana Begum, and to be forming this new collaboration with the SCAD Museum of Art. She was delighted to be introducing Rana to Windsor, and to new audiences in Florida. I would like to personally thank Rana for accepting my mother’s invitation to exhibit here. She would have been very proud,” comments Mr. Weston. Sadly, Mrs. Weston passed away in August of 2025.

An expansive survey exhibition, Rana Begum: Reflection premiered at the SCAD Museum of Art before traveling to Vero Beach, Florida, such that it is transformed by each distinct cultural setting in which it is presented. Reimagined within The Gallery at Windsor, Reflection invites visitors to experience Ms. Begum’s practice as a journey of discovery, where vibrant compositions evolve with each change in light or movement, expanding from aesthetic encounters into profound moments of contemplation.

Unique to The Gallery at Windsor’s iteration is a new mesh sculpture, recently created by Ms. Begum, and the outdoor presentation of three large-scale sculptures situated in the Clubhouse’s lush courtyard, where the vibrant red, green, yellow, and white bicycle light reflectors that Ms. Begum uses to clad her sculptures are refracted in the central reflecting pool.

Rana Begum: Reflection is accompanied by a fully illustrated book, co-produced by Begum Studio, SCAD University Press, The Gallery at Windsor, The Third Line, Galerie Christian Lethert, Kate McGarry, and Jhaveri Contemporary. It features an expansive examination of the artist’s work by Mr. Palmer; a conversation between Ms. Begum and arts writer Osman Can Yerebakan; and a note from the late Mrs. Weston about her original impetus to bring Ms. Begum’s work to The Gallery.

Mrs. Weston wrote: “We congratulate Rana Begum on her exceptional career and this groundbreaking exhibition, and we are honored to share her superb and inspiring works with our members and guests this season.”

About Rana Begum

Rana Begum (b. 1977, Sylhet, Bangladesh; lives and works in London) focuses on the interplay between light and color, blurring the boundaries between sculpture, painting, and architecture. Her use of repetitive geometric patterns — found within both Islamic art and the industrial cityscape — is inspired by childhood memories of the rhythmic, daily recitals of the Qur’an. Influenced by the geometric abstraction of Minimalism and Constructivism and the work of artists such as Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Jesús Rafael Soto, and Tess Jaray, Begum’s work ranges from drawings, paintings, and wall-based sculptures to large-scale public art projects.

About the Book
Delving into the methods, meanings, and meditations at the core of British Bangladeshi artist Rana Begum’s creative ethos, the catalog documents Reflection, the artist’s first museum survey in the U.S. Alongside insightful observations on the artist’s trajectory by SCAD Museum of Art chief curator Daniel S. Palmer and an energizing dialogue between the artist and culture writer Osman Can Yerebakan, it sheds light on the breadth of Begum’s practice, which expands on legacies of abstraction, Minimalism, and Op art through a contemporary global lens.

Rana Begum: Reflection is organized by the SCAD Museum of Art in partnership with The Gallery at Windsor. The catalogue is coproduced by Begum Studio, SCAD University Press, The Gallery at Windsor, The Third Line, Galerie Christian Lethert, Kate McGarry, and Jhaveri Contemporary.

About Windsor
Established in 1989, Windsor is a private residential sporting club community spanning 472 acres of lush barrier island between the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean in Vero Beach, Florida. In the early 1990s, W. Galen Weston and the Hon. Hilary M. Weston of Toronto, Canada visited South Florida in search of a winter home for themselves and their children. In Vero Beach they became enchanted by a property that over the next decades would become a cherished home, passion project, and ultimately a critically acclaimed residential community. Windsor was designed by renowned town planners Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk in the New Urbanism style of residential living. It offers public and community spaces framed by timeless architecture and landscape design that celebrates its tropical and unspoiled setting. Windsor is comprised of 350 homesites in various styles, including village homes, cottages, and country estates, all remarkable for their signature Anglo-Caribbean architecture and gracious living. Residents enjoy privacy and seclusion combined with the finest amenities, exemplary services, and sporting activities. Windsor is embarking on its final development phase with the launch of the North Village, a 47-acre neighborhood featuring 40 residences, new and enhanced amenities and a heightened commitment to sustainability.
