CONTEMPORARY art by three University of Worcester graduates will be displayed at the region’s largest showcase of emerging contemporary artists.

Amy Inston, Abigail Day and Katie Hodson will display their artworks in four New Art West Midlands exhibitions.

Their work will be among a host of displays, which include painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, animation, sculpture and digital artworks, at Worcester City Art Gallery, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, mac birmingham and Wolverhampton Art Gallery.

Abigail’s sculptures inspired by mid-20th century Brutalist architecture will be displayed at Worcester City Art Gallery.

Abigail, 24, of Portsmouth, who graduated in 2015 with a Fine Art degree, said: “I'm very happy to be exhibiting and participating in New Art West Midlands this year, showcasing alongside some really talented artists.”

Katie’s installation Slab hung on a wall will be on display at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.

Her piece aims to explore the material, visual and spatial relationships between supporting and supported elements.

Amy's video Pipe Dream, which records life in her family home, will be exhibited at Wolverhampton Art Gallery.

The students are among a total of 31 artists chosen from more than 180 entrants who have graduated from the region’s six art schools.

Along with Worcester's students are those from Hereford College of Arts, Birmingham City University, the University of Wolverhampton, Staffordshire University and Coventry University.

Rachel Bradley, co-ordinator of New Art West Midlands, said: “The selectors were full of admiration of the standard of work from Worcester graduates.

"Amy Inston’s video is thoughtful and masterfully created, and Abigail Day and Katie Hodson are part of a new wave of artists who are interested in architecture and engineering.

“We are so pleased to showcase the great artwork being created at the University of Worcester and hope that this fine institution will be partner of New Art West Midlands long into the future.”

Previous exhibitors have seen their work purchased for the National Art Council Collection and have gone on to achieve solo exhibitions in respected galleries.

The exhibitions opened on Saturday, February 18.
