Brendan Handley Exhibition
Brendan’s paintings are a stunning exploration of non-representational abstraction; some conveying a sense of vibrancy, depth and intensity, while others elicit a calmer, more contemplative response. His expressive use of colours and textures evoke different emotions, moods and memories, personal to each viewer.
Unseen
Sarah’s work explores the theme of ‘the invisibility of the older person’, recognising the importance of the beauty of ageing, in order to gain new perspective and appreciation of the elder body.

Children of the Railway: The Partition of India 75 years on
Funded by Aston University and DESIblitz, the UK’s leading British Asian web magazine, this exhibition marks the 75th anniversary of the Partition of India.
The exhibition tells the story of Partition from the perspective of the people involved in it. It traces the pain Partition has caused over multiple generations, while also showing how people have found ways to live with and overcome the divisions of the past.
Grandbabs
Grandbabs is a volunteer led collaborative project between young and senior citizens of Birmingham.
The exhibit features over twenty original portraits of senior citizens as well as short documentaries taken from visits to local care homes and discussions with elderly members of our city. The opening night will be attended by the senior citizens seeing their portraits for the very first time.
This is the first exhibit at the re-opening of the Sir William Blake Richmond Gallery at the Birmingham & Midland Institute and is a collaboration of young and old Bab’s from across our city. The night will be sponsored by Birmingham Brewery Company and is supported by The Birmingham & Midland Institute, The Birmingham Civic Society, Lawyers Arts Club, VIP Graffiti and directed by Art From A&K.
