The Claremont is back in it's fourth year as an Open House and proud to be showing one of the biggest and most impressive collections of contemporary art in the Festival.

We hope the combination of over 30 artists contributing stunning new work in a wide variety of mediums throughout this charming Victorian building and walled garden, plus the chance to sneak a peak at Brighton and Hove's first five-star guest accomodation, will make this an opportunity not to be missed!

During May, we are open every weekend 11-6pm EXCEPT Sunday the 22nd but we are open on the Bank Holiday Monday (30th)

This work was created for a Portuguese cafe inspired by a global trade established between Portugal and China & Japan 500 years ago. I have reconstructed traditional motifs from Jingdezhen ceramics and Japanese laquerware but my materials here are empty drinks cans from the Portuguese café, with their bright seductive branding printed on aluminium and steel.
Part of my work process is to recreate new work from discarded and rejected materials, to recycle and reuse as a way of seeing things differently.
