SUMMARY:Steve Butt ARBSA
DESCRIPTION:In his new works\, Steve Butt moves away from the representational and contemplates semi abstract imagery. The theme of the urban environment and nature still remains\, but now there is a sense of ambiguity and tension between form and recognizable appearance. The paintings tread a fine line of what is and what could be. \nExhibition closes: Saturday 2 May 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Steve Butt ARBSA\, The Sentinels \n

SUMMARY:Simon Conolly RBSA
DESCRIPTION:Sea and Sky \nSimon Conolly’s Sea and Sky assembly of works reflects two distinct influences upon his artistic development. \nSimon was born and raised in Portsmouth on the South coast of England. The sea\, the harbour\, and the tidal creeks dominated the landscape. The fluid movement and constantly changing patterns created by fish in numbers gave a regular source of ideas and inspiration. \nSimon now lives in land-locked Shropshire. But similar patterns can be observed in the sky. Birds in numbers can produce the same sense of fluidity and form. \nSimon is a Member and Honorary Curator of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA). He is also a Member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA). \nExhibition closes: Saturday 2 May 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Simon Conolly RBSA\, Blue Planet \n

SUMMARY:Jodie Wingham ARBSA
DESCRIPTION:Jodie Wingham is an artist\, predominantly based within the field of printmaking\, where her work seeks to challenge the constructs of the medium itself through an investigation into the nature of looking. Since graduating\, her work has been selected for shows across the United Kingdom\, she was a finalist for the BBA Gallery\, Berlin Art Prize in 2025 and selected for the Royal Academy Summer exhibition 2021. \nWingham’s work combines many forms of printmaking to create artworks that playfully distort images\, where both found images and her own creations are cropped and edited to focus on actions. Inspired by the act of observing others and the audiences’ enjoyment of this process she focuses on the viewers desire to look and gain information\, often using imagery with voyeuristic tendencies. \nExhibition closes: Saturday 2 May 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Jodie Wingham ARBSA\, The Kiss  \n

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:THIS EXHIBITION OPENS ON TUESDAY 5 MAY AT 6.00PM. \nThe 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:RBSA Small Works Exhibition 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Small Works Exhibition is a unique show from the Society’s Membership\, intended as a starting point for those visitors wishing to embark upon building an art collection. \nAll of the work included in the exhibition is no larger than 45cm\, and everything is priced at £500 and under\, making the work highly affordable. \nThe artworks on display come from RBSA Members\, Associates\, and Graduate Artists\, and demonstrate the breadth of techniques and approaches employed by the Society’s artists. With an ever growing Membership\, contemporary pieces sit next to more traditional works\, resulting in a rich and diverse exhibition of both 2D and 3D works. \nAt various times throughout the exhibition\, exhibiting artists will be present in the Gallery to discuss the work with visitors\, and advise on how to build up a collection. Visitors can also ask advice on caring for artwork and the best ways in which to display it. \nExhibition closes: Saturday 13 June 5.00pm \nImage: Adam De Ville ARBSA\, Autumn Water
