Brighton

I went to Brighton for the first time with my boyfriend Callum. We stayed the weekend with his cousin Claire in her flat near the sea front.
Even tho the weather was terrible i had a really lovely time.
Brighton has a strong relationship with contemporary art, they seem to go happily hand in hand. I'm glad i was able to find things to keep me inspired for uni.
On the first day Claire took us to an open house where the owners were exhibiting their art work and selling it, the houses looked lovely, they were so nicely decorated, like show houses. The work was good but mostly photographs of Brighton, some had special photo shopped effects on them. I was going to buy some postcards of the artwork but i saved my money as it was the first day.
We walked to the sea front after wards where there was some more people selling art. There seemed to be a distinct subject matter tho, the work was again edited photo's but they were of the Palace pier as it was burning down in 2003, they were really cool but sad at the same time. There were loads of other art dealers as we walked past selling contemporary stuff. There were some really nice tranquil pieces of water bubbles and yellow ducks!
The next day we went to the town there was an art shop which sold Banksy stuff among other famous names and also along the alleyways between shops there was a painting on the building of a mermaid which i thought was pretty cute.
