Wordsley artist mingles words and pictures for his new show

AN artist from Wordsley is launching a new exhibition which mingles words and pictures with Black Country themes.
Robert Perry is launching a new exhibition featuring works based on a salvaged car engine as well as more familiar landscape images.
He has added an extra dimension to his latest works by adding newsprint to represent both commercial life in his home community and also the passage of time.
The engine is pictured in life-size to examine the history of top class engineering in the Midlands and its decline in recent years.
Although the new show, at the in the Birmingham's jewellery quarter, takes Robert Perry into new artistic territory, he is still showing works produced in his unique mobile studio which includes the "umpire's chair" - and elevated seat on the roof of his vehicle which gives the artist an elevated view the world.
