Brighton Beach: In View

This comprehensive view of Brighton and Hove seafront shows many landmarks and buildings found along the historic seafront. Notably you can recognise Sussex Heights, The Hilton Metropole, Sussex Square in Kempton, Roedean School, Beacon Mill in Rottingdean. Even the Blind Veterans building , and further on the hills of the Seven Sisters, within the South Downs National Park,  stands Belle Tout Lighthouse.

Print Collection Antique Blue and Ochre.

This print belongs to a tonal collection named ‘Antique Blue and Ochre’. This is the first colour scheme palette I created. The colours are inspired from a small antique drawing of a palace in India from a drawing I found  at the Museum of Fine Arts in San Francisco. It has a contemporary tone with echoes from the past.

Naming this print. 

The correct way to address this city is ‘The City of Brighton and Hove’. I have changed the name simple because in this view in order of appearance you can see Hove and Brighton follows. This also generates an unique name which is always useful.

The Seafront of Brighton and Hove is a recurrent source of inspiration in my art. Below you have links to two more landscapes I have created. It is a fascinating scene with architecture built on the sea , the leisure piers, and the backdrop of the Sussex Coast.
