Brightons Arty: Alison Krog
It’s summer exhibition season. And if you head out to Arundel you’re in for a treat at the Zimmer Stewart Gallery. This year’s mixed summer show includes three original works by Sir Terry Frost RA (one of the leading 20th-century British abstract artists) as galleries around the UK celebrate the centenary of his birth. Featured here is ‘Untitled 1996 (Orange and Green Spirals)’. Terry Frost had said that ‘spirals are forever’, and they have run like a thread though his work since 1951.
The other two pieces are a Lorca drawing (1990) and an ink drawing using his own hand-made reed pen from 1968. Keeping it in the family, the Zimmer Stewart Summer Exhibition also includes works by Anthony Frost and Luke Frost alongside those of their father and grandfather, as well as paintings by Katharine Le Hardy and Phil Tyler plus ceramics, sculpture and a sensational range of original prints.
Meanwhile, if you haven’t discovered the North Laine’s unique artspace ‘brush’ (combining a boutique hair salon and art gallery) there’s no better time than now. Hizze Fletcher and Jojo King are hosting ‘While’, a solo exhibition of paintings by Mel Evans. Until 30 July.
Last chance: If you’re quick (and a supremely talented arty type) there’s still time to be chosen to work with the Brighton Fringe team on bringing their 2016 creative campaign to life. It’s an amazing opportunity to see your work featured on 100,000 Brighton Fringe brochures and outdoor banners. Get in touch with rosie.blackwell-sutton@brightonfringe.org if you’re interested. But do it this week!
