About
Since 2010, Colley Ison Gallery has played a leading role in promoting the careers of British artists. Reuben Colley who founded the gallery has devoted the past quarter of a century to capturing on canvas the evolving cityscape of his native Birmingham. Colley’s paintings don’t portray royalty or prime ministers. Instead, they chronicle graffiti-covered urban concrete, overgrown pathways, tower blocks and car parks; forgotten and unloved corners that so many of us overlook.Since first opening its doors in Moseley, the Colley Ison Gallery has not only promoted the work of its founder. It has also brought some of today’s best contemporary painters and sculptors to Birmingham, several of whom have connections to the city and the surrounding areas.
