Having visited the newly erected Birmingham Light external exhibition in Victoria Square on Tuesday in central Birmingham, and seen the fantastic array of artists work (Pear) – I hope that more councils will see and understand the many benefits of involving artists to create artwork that brightens up large public areas!
I relaxed in the seating areas and soaked up the atmosphere. I witnessed visitors slowing down, pausing, enjoying the newly found breathing space in the busy business area of the Second City in England. The range of 2D artwork providing something appealing to everyone.
Thanks to Central BID , and Colmore BID, together with Ruth Millington, for their funding and vision. I hope other councils will take your lead.
Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council is hosting Surreal Solihull from 6 March to 30 May in central Solihull town when it will be moved to Shirley, finally coming to rest in Chelmsley Wood by the end of the year.
I’m thrilled to be taking part in Birmingham’s Open this year with the theme of Light! My acrylic painting on linen named Pear will be on public display from May to June in Victoria Square, Birmingham, UK.
Pear was created a couple of years ago as I love mixing and contrasting colours; playing with effects created by laying different shades together.
I have a studio in my house this time, whereas in my previous house it was adjacent. I find I run upstairs with ideas and “I’ll just do…” far more often now. Some artists find it beneficial to leave their home and paint elsewhere, here I can loose myself for hours at some point each day. When I have a solo show to work for it’s 9-5!
Come and visit Birmingham Open from 20 May to end June 2025!
It’s up and looks fantastic, sitting proudly outside on the High Street and Drury Lane by Hunters Estate Agents!
It’s given Solihull an area of looking, relaxing, a quiet space between each display. It’s really added value to the Town. Come and see for yourself, free to all.
