An incredible preview night at our Digbeth Arts Space on Friday November 30th saw Digbeth get lit up in a riot of colour, vibrancy, style and personality as Dusty O's Dragged Back to My Roots exhibition sealed his triumphant return to Birmingham as an outstanding artist with a unique and colourful storytelling style.
300 wonderful people visited the launch party on the night adding flair and panache to an already pulsating celebratory art exhibition.

A proud moment for Mom as she enjoys seeing Dusty O's collection the talk of Birmingham and receive positive press across the UK.
25 years of spectacular stories are told through art in this collection. "My paintings are like vomit. They are my thoughts splattered on to a canvas. My approach may appear naive but my paintings are riddled with vice, lies, and hideous people doing unspeakable things".
These art stories from Dusty O's 25 years as the Queen of Soho include mesmerising themes of club culture, 80s pop stars, nightlife, drag queens, religion and icons.
Bright, bold, sexually charged, psychedelic and unapologetic this is not art that quietly blends into the background.
