Birmingham-born artist Reuben Colley opens his own gallery in Moseley this month. The gallery will be showcase talent from past greats including L. S. Lowry and Sir William Russell Flint RA to contemporary masters such as James Byrne and new talent.
He says his aim is to create an environment where people can come and spend time being stimulated by art rather than purely being sold a wall adornment. Here’s some more from Reuben:
I had become so disillusioned with the contemporary art world which surrounded me that I was ready to hang up my brushes, and it was only after involvement with Birmingham Art Museum that my passion was reinvigorated.
Reuben received help from Birmingham City Council’s Retail Development Programme to open Reuben Colley Fine Arts Gallery.
Where abouts in Moseley will this be opening?
@Steven – The address was oddly missing from the press release and there’s not much sign of it online. Will have a dig though.
