'Born in Hodge Hill, Reuben Colley spent his childhood playing in scrubland between high rise tower blocks, and cycling in the shade of the Aston Expressway.
Over the last 25 years, Colley has firmly established himself within the Birmingham topographical tradition. In his paintings of the urban landscape, he draws upon some of modern art's most powerful movements, including impressionism, photorealism and even pop art.
The ordinary, the commonplace, the neglected, the abandoned: great art can, and should, be made of these things.'
