Tuesday late Draw with me alej ez at the Bottoms Rest
📍 Bottoms Rest Pub. Lower Market St, Hove BN3 1AT
🗓️ Tuesdaya 7pm t- late
Come along for a relaxed after-dinner get-together — a cosy nightcap, make some art and chat.
The Bottom’s Rest is the friendliest, loveliest pub in Hove, with a gorgeous atmosphere and fabulous drinks.
Artists and friends please bring pen and paper and lets, tutored and untutored make some drawings together, but absolutely no pressure — just come, unwind, and say hi..
I have two parallel exhibitions at this fantastic venue:
New prints by alej ez at Bottoms Rest, Hove: A real winter warmer collection of prints for feelings of friendship and love
Life Drawings by alej ez at Bottoms Rest Hove: A show of my latest experiments in life drawing, a series of ink and pastel pieces, each one created on a page from a 1912 edition of The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse. The result links the immediacy of drawing from life with the literary poems of the Victorian era. Reading the poems in this book — before, after, and during the process of drawing at the studio at the Sussex County Arts Club — together with the interaction with our models, throws new emotional light and meanings not only in the poems but also in the lives of the authors I research. Especially those who are now identified as queer, and who at the time struggled with their identities.
