Three of Birmingham’s prime realist painters Danny Howes, Rueben Colley and Rick Garland join forces this spring to present a collection of contemporary life paintings at Solihull Arts Complex. This realist exhibition focuses on various aspects of Birmingham and its surrounding area, intending to portray ‘true-to-life’ local subject matter through observational paintings, fine art and landscape pieces.

Yangjiang Group have designed and built a new large-scale artwork based on a traditional Chinese Tea Pavilion. The Pavilion will function as a canteen for making calligraphy, photographic studio, and display room, along with taking on the unusual role of working as a demountable Cricket Pavilion the size of a house. The wooden structure with plywood panels will include a downstairs dining area clad with a special semi transparent plastic where you can look down on the activities as they take place from above.
