Join us at Seventh Circle for the Private View of Geisha, a new exhibition by contemporary Birmingham based artist, Sophie-Rose Walters.
Over the past two years, Walters has immersed herself in the world of the Geisha, exploring their artistry, symbolism, and cultural legacy through a contemporary lens. This exhibition presents a vivid series of paintings inspired by individual Geisha she has researched throughout her practice, each piece marked by distinctive kimono patterns, symbolic hair ornaments, and colour stories that reflect different stages of training and identity.
Where traditional depictions often lean into muted tones, Walters embraces bold colour and expressive detail, celebrating the beauty, discipline, and resilience of the women who shaped this cultural tradition. Geisha offers a vibrant, modern homage, a body of work that blends research, narrative, and artistic interpretation.
Meet the artist Sophie, explore the full collection, and experience this striking exhibition as part of Digbeth First Friday.
