Here we go again with the start of the May Open Houses in Brighton. I'm happy to say I have six of the same artists who were with me at Christmas with the welcome addition of Araboushikha, a stone sculptor, who has brought along two stunning, wonderfully tactile pieces which are in the garden as well as some smaller ones. "Harold" is a limestone hare and "Fire In the Belly" is a piece in serpentine.
Vicky Scott has brought along one of her original pieces to show the process that is carried out before her prints are made. "Alice in Wonderland" is a collage of detailed card pieces cut by hand (even the whiskers on the mice and cats) which is pieced together to make the finished article.
In addition to his detailed postcard sized original works, Del Thorpe has for sale some larger size prints. Theseus and the Minotaur is a recent work, the original of which was created for a charity auction raising money for Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice. Having missed out on the auction for the original work, I'm thrilled to see the prints here.
Why not come along and see what we have? You can find us at 45 Westbourne Gardens, Hove, BN3 5PN. We are open the weekends (including Bank Holiday Monday) until 24th May from 11am till 5pm.
