Showcasing some of the most exciting emerging artists in the region, this exhibition gives an insight into the latest trends and concerns in contemporary art.
The exhibition provides a vital platform to exhibit the work of artists who have graduated from the region’s five university art schools - Birmingham City, Coventry, Staffordshire, Wolverhampton and Worcester, as well as, for the first time, Hereford College for the Arts.
The bright and bold exhibition includes a series of works of an other-worldly nature such as Jess Maxfield’s psychedelic digital landscape billboard and Lisa Nash’s sculptural installation ‘The Circle of Nature’ (2016) which includes a giant rabbit with ‘Alice in Wonderland’ allusions.
These join Yazmin Boyle’s formalist sculpture ‘Orbita’ (2016) and Rob Hamp’s interventions produced on site in response to the interior architecture and pillars of the Waterhall Gallery. Colour and abstraction are explored in sculpture by Bruno Grilo and painting by Pamela Fletcher and Kerry Farrell. Anthropomorphic sculpture by Damian Massey contrasts with artistic responses to technology by Gemma Ford, Henry Rice and Zecheng Hao whilst Natalie Seymour’s photographic collages of an abandoned building resonate with Birmingham’s ever-changing landscape. Lorna Brown’s pinhole and embroidered photographs and Renata Juroszova’s paintings of female spaces fuse with Poppy Twist’s large-scale video installation where she explores the uncomfortable implications of the live performance.
