At Birmingham Artspace we have been really busy over the past year or so, so much so that there are too many events to list that we thought we’d summarise instead.
Angelina Davis has had a successful time with work now hanging in the Government Art Collection and Manchester City Art Gallery. She has also shown in a number of exhibitions including at Paradise Works, Manchester, a solo exhibition at Long Buckby, Assembly with Contemporary British Painting in Rye, Manchester Contemporary and was a finalist in The Cass Art Prize and shortlisted for The Jacksons Painting Prize.

She has also exhibited with fellow studio holder James Byrne in British Contemporary at Forward Gallery, Birmingham. Other shows include Goth In The Landscape at Aberystwyth School of Art, Between Figuration and Abstraction at Crane Court Gallery in London and she will be showing in Fitzrovia soon with Gala Fine Art. Annette is also exhibiting in The Cass Art Prize. Annette’s solo show, Happenstance’ at The New Art Gallery, Walsall featured in the Anomie review of Contemporary Painting 3 and works also appeared in Resurgence Magazine in a feature written by Ruth Millington, author and art critic. One of Annette’s photographic works has also featured in a touring outdoor exhibition, Surreal Solihull.
