Wednesday 26th April 2006
An exhibition of work by artists from 'The STRIP' is taking place
at the NEST gallery in Kemptown.
This exciting event is an op****tunity for the general public to view
and purchase art works and comics created by 'The STRIP'
contributors.
Artwork will continue to be on display throughout The Brighton
Festival, England's largest celebration of international art.
'The STRIP' is a new publication with a difference, unlike other
free magazines currently distributed in Brighton 'The STRIP' will
have a high profile among the Brighton comic book scene and will be
something that readers will want to keep and collect. Circulation will
be high and 'The STRIP' will be widely distributed across Brighton
and Hove.
The editorial policy is to create comic strips which challenge the
public perception of comic art whilst still being family orientated.
'The STRIP' will be attractive to anybody with a sense of humour
- a broad target audience.
Edited by established writer and graphic designer Steve Carroll 'The
STRIP' is a publication enabling the diverse comic talent in the city
to publish and be paid for their work.
Additional Information / Notes for Journalists -
'The STRIP':
'The STRIP' is Brighton's first free magazine dedicated to
showcasing comic book art. It is a bi-monthly publication becoming
monthly in early 2007. The editorial policy is to create strips which
push the envelope and showcase what comics can do today, whilst still
appealing to a wide audience. All of the artists are paid for their
work, and it is funded entirely through advertising.
Contributing artists to 'The STRIP' include both established
creators and emerging local talent.

Sara Abbott:
Sara Abbott is an established Brighton artist and owner of NEST
gallery.
Sara is widely known for her contem****ary dog and other animal
paintings but has always been interested in the human form too. Earlier
figurative work has a strong classical feel, with the play of hard,
bright light on ****d skin against dark backgrounds a constant theme,
whilst in this very new work of mostly female figures the paint itself
has been allowed free reign in both colour and control.
The artist is also available for commissions.
