enews

The audience murmur fades, the houselights dim, a solitary spotlight flicks onto an opening curtain, breath is taken in and held in... And then out spills the Brighton Festival in a kaleidoscopic swashbuckling torrent of costume and colour, an audio-visual sensory explosion. All across the city the events surface in all forms of art, music and theatre. Sometimes in all excitement the little creatures are forgotten, but not so this year, as this clip tells...

The vivid paintings of Paula MacArthur are now on display at our Freise Greene building on middle street.

Inspired by the sights of the coast, her brash canvasses depict the cheap thrills of the seaside in technicolor overload.
The controlled dripping and merging of viscous paint with translucent glazes combine to create images which are an exuberant
celebration of british holiday culture.

MacArthur has won the prestigious John Player Portrait Award at The National Portait Gallery and the John Moores Biennial at
The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.

She now enjoys living the rural life in West Kent.
 

The Brighton Media Centre is currently exhibiting the fantastic work of Mnkyvision, alias Mark Hooley, in our Friese-Greene building in Middle street. Mark Hooley has been working as an artist in Brighton since graduating in 1998. He studied illustration, but turns his hand to design, painting and more recently screen-printing. Using a variety of styles, he adopts different names for each, most notably MNKY. Now working at Another Fine Mesh studio in Lewes and living in Glynde.

He enjoys the harsh weather with his family in front of the fire.
