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)

Jan Lee Johnson

My paintings explore the language of paint, with the motif and repeat patterns of vintage fabric, which often form the canvas on which I paint: working from photographs, particularly from my childhood and family archive, a translation from image to painting, resulting in a game of visual Chinese Whispers between the photograph and myself, the painting and the viewer. By setting limitations of palette, scale, and the task of interpreting, endless possibilities emerge with brush and canvas and fabric.
Jan worked at BBC TV as a scenic artist and now lectures part time in London
