The Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA) Photography Prize Exhibition is hosted biennially to celebrate photographic art. Featuring 100 works from over 70 artists, this exhibition showcases the best of contemporary photography with the inclusion of both established and emerging photographers.
Two of Billy’s pieces, Dayshift and Seamstress, were entered into the competition, for which he was awarded first prize. Billy commented:
“To win the main prize felt a real coup for the identity I assert in my work - Royal Birmingham Society of Artists was established in 1821 with members like John Everett Millais and other painters whose work I study when entering my imaginings. This place is the deep soul of Birmingham and the Black Country. I’m glad to be in its thrall for a while.
Huge thanks to my team of craftspeople and producers, and funders who make the art happen. They really are epic productions. The works glisten in this space”.
The show is on until April 8th at Brook Street in the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham. There are some really fabulous works in a wide range of styles, techniques, and practices on display. Click here for more information.
You’ll be glad you visited!
