SUMMARY:RBSA Portrait Prize
DESCRIPTION:The art of portraiture dates back at least 5\,000 years to ancient Egypt and\, up until the invention of photography\, was the only way to capture a person’s likeness. Throughout history\, portraits have been used as a tool for demonstrating the sitter’s status and importance\, as well as to assert dominance over subjects and enemies. However\, portraiture and\, in particular\, self-portraiture\, is not always representational but instead may employ abstraction or symbolism to reveal more than just the physical appearance of the subject. \nThe RBSA Portrait Prize exhibition gives artists working in any medium the opportunity to exhibit their work and win prizes. This year\, the RBSA was delighted to extend the scope of the exhibition to include photography and digital artwork. \nThis year’s exhibition was selected by: \n\nJohn Devane\, RBSA Honorary Professor of Painting; Professor of Painting\, Centre of Arts\, Memories and Communications\, Coventry University\nMarta Kochanek\, multi-award winning photography artist\nProfessor Jennifer Powell\, Director of The Barber Institute of Fine Arts\n\nThe following prizes will be awarded: \n\nFirst prize £1000 sponsored by GMC\nSecond prize £500 sponsored by Galliard Apsley Partnership\nThird prize £250 sponsored by Judd Medical\nStudent prize £250 sponsored by RBSA Member\nUp to six highly commended certificates will also be awarded\n\nPrivate View: Tuesday 7 May 6.00 – 8.00pm\nArtists’ Talk: Saturday 18 May 2.00 – 3.00pm \nFeatured image: Stephen Carse\, Hoarding Issues

SUMMARY:Nature and Nurture
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases work by the late sculptor Tom Millard RBSA and practising artist Melanie Keevil. \nTom gained his inspiration from the natural world in all its forms and changing seasons. His journey around the Southwest coastline\, especially the juxtaposition and interplay between the land and sea particularly fascinated him. He was also inspired by the landscape of the Midlands\, including the ever-changing beauty of the Malvern Hills and the decaying landscape of old kilns\, locks and Victorian waterways. Tom was also a teacher of all ages and he met ceramicist Melanie Keevil when\, as a young mum\, she volunteered to help with groups of nursery children. Melanie’s sculpture and wall art is also inspired by urban and rural landscapes. \nTom and Melanie’s shared passions of nature and nurture\, the human form\, and its relationship to the natural world\, which subsequently led to the first of their joint exhibitions in 2010. Two further collaborative exhibitions followed\, with Tom and Melanie’s artistic relationship continuing through to the end of his life. Tom Millard was a member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists for over 20 years and sadly passed away in November 2023. \nJoin us on Saturday 1 June when Melanie and Tom’s widow Cheryl\, will be in the Gallery to speak about the work in the show. \nPrivate View: Saturday 1 June 3.00 – 4.00pm \nFeatured image: Tom Millard\, Sightings and Melanie Keevil\, Barcelona
