The book’s unique strengths lies in its annotations, which decipher the often-obscure language of visual art. Providing readers with the tools to understand each artist’s technique and intent. Turning appreciation into active participation, making even the most intricate or elusive works accessible.
The book is an evocative and crepuscular exploration not just of the people and places of Brighton but also the psycho-sexual geography of the artist themselves. Where they lay, pause, linger, what they see, feel and embrace, and what they leave in the echoes of desire, control and abandonment which are captured with such fine detail. A superb gift for anyone interested in sensual or fetish art, the colour and imagery seduce and draws you in, holding the viewers’ attention.
