SUMMARY:Alison Holt and Jaci Hogan - Textures and Rhythms
DESCRIPTION:Textures and Rhythms is a joint exhibition from Alison Holt and Jaci Hogan\, established artists who work in two distinctly different media; textiles and pastels. \nHaving exhibited together regularly for the past five years\, the artists have discovered a synergy between the stitches of Alison’s landscapes and the mark making of Jaci’s seascapes. Together they explore seasonal changes\, natural patterns\, and elemental textures found in nature. \nAlison studied at Goldsmiths and has developed a technique of free motion machine embroidery. This way of working enables Alison to paint landscapes with stitches in complex layers\, giving richness of colour and a subtly sculptural texture to her work. Alison explores the interplay of light and shadow\, bringing depth and atmosphere to her landscapes. \nJaci Hogan is a pastel artist whose work focuses on the sea and coastal landscapes. Having grown up in Australia\, Jaci uses her childhood memories to imbue her work with the feeling of serenity she feels when by the sea. She has a fascination with the intricate patterns of sea foam and loves exploring the visual rhythm of the ocean. \nExhibition closes: Saturday 16 May 5.00pm \nImage: Alison Holt\, In Ancient Woodlands; Jaci Hogan\, Wild West (detail)

SUMMARY:RBSA Portrait Prize 2026
DESCRIPTION:The RBSA Portrait Prize\, last held in 2024\, is a celebration of portraiture\, one of the oldest artistic genres in existence. \nThroughout history\, portraits have been employed as a way of immortalising a person or group\, and preserving their appearance for future generations. No other type of painting can give such insights into social and cultural history\, and portraits allow us the unique gift of being able to connect with individuals\, both living and dead. Indeed\, the importance and popularity of portraiture remain undiminished today. \nMore recently\, portraits have been used to express more abstract themes\, including the emotions or the state of the inner-self\, without necessarily focusing on physical likeness. Greats such as Van Gogh\, Kahlo\, Picasso\, Bacon\, and Rembrandt all documented emotional turbulence in powerful self-portraits. \nThe RBSA Portrait Prize is open to established and emerging artists working in any media\, including photography and digital art\, and entries come from both UK based and international artists. \nThis year’s exhibition is selected by: \nBrian Bishop – Senior Lecturer in Fine Art and Course Director for BA (Hons) in Fine Art\, Birmingham School of Art\nAnthony Connolly RP – President\, Royal Society of Portrait Painters\nDr Hannah Higham – Head of Collections\, Royal Academy of Arts \nThe following prizes will be awarded: \nFirst Prize: £1000 sponsored by GMC Trust\nSecond Prize: £500 Anne Judd Award\nThird Prize: £250 sponsored by Judd Medical\nUp to six highly commended certificates will be awarded \nPreview Evening: Tuesday 5 May 6.00pm – 8.00pm\nExhibition closes: Saturday 13 June 5.00pm \nImage: Francine Brown\, Dorothea: Gift Of God (detail)

SUMMARY:Andrew Kinmont ARBSA
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Kinmont ARBSA explores atmosphere\, movement and the felt experience of nature. Childhood walks through Africa’s wild landscapes shaped his sensitivity to light\, space and rhythm. He graduated from the University of Wales with a First-Class Honours in Fine Art in 2007\, with further training at St Martins College and West Dean College. Exhibited widely\, he won First Prize at the RBSA International Summer Exhibition in 2024. His work features in major collections\, including Raffles Hotel in London and the Corinthian in Bucharest. Now based near Chester\, he draws inspiration from North Wales and Middle England\, creating paintings that privilege sensation over description. \nExhibition closes: Saturday 13 June 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Andrew Kinmont ARBSA\, Autumn Chorus  \n

SUMMARY:Laura Adkins ARBSA
DESCRIPTION:Laura Adkins ARBSA is a Solihull-based ceramic sculptor who creates reliefs\, sculptural assemblages and 3D forms using slab construction and individually sculpted tiles. Her work draws on ancient and cross-cultural symbolism\, British folklore\, ancestry\, and ideas of memory\, ritual and the passage of time. She is especially interested in how objects can act as carriers of belief and narrative. Research\, travel\, photography\, drawing and writing all inform her practice\, helping shape a visual language that moves between the abstract\, the figurative and the illustrative. She balances planning with improvisation\, allowing each piece to evolve through the making process. Working mainly in crank clay\, with oxides and gas firing\, she creates tactile surfaces that suggest age\, weathering and excavation. \nExhibition closes: Saturday 13 June 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Laura Adkins ARBSA\, Wild Self Portrait  \n

SUMMARY:Andrew Tromans RBSA
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Tromans RBSA is a printmaker and artist maintaining studios in the West Midlands and Central France. His sketchbooks inform his subject matter\, which is rooted in an ongoing investigation through layering\, mark making and the use of hand crafted and found imagery. The physicality of carving\, etching or inking is central to his process\, allowing each print to carry traces of its making. \nRecently he has explored Japanese woodblock techniques and is incorporating these experiences into his work combining tradition and risk taking to achieve creative output. Much of his inspiration is sourced in the industrial West Midlands and Central rural France. \nExhibition closes: Saturday 13 June 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Andrew Tromans RBSA\, Puffin  \n
