Birmingham’s city-centre sculpture of Queen Victoria has been reimagined by acclaimed Guyanese-British artist Hew Locke for the Birmingham 2022 Festival.

Originally unveiled in 1901, Sir Thomas Brock’s marble figure of Queen Victoria was then recast in bronze by William Bloye and members of Birmingham School of Art in 1951. Locke’s reimagining of the sculpture, which has been commissioned by Ikon, is available to view in Victoria Square for a limited period from 14 June. Find out more at ikon-gallery.org.
