Amy Brazier, Your Body is a Planet (2010)© abillustration.wordpress.com
In 2010, a multi-disciplinary huddle of illustration prodigies from University College Falmouth set up the nomadic Grad Gallery enterprise, intent on taking over empty shops across the country to showcase original artworks, prints and books.
A geographically and artistically disparate group of 12 artists, they specialise in everything from portraiture with a 1950s edge by Mike Gambriel to beautiful graphic illustrations by Amy Brazier.
Works for children, expanses of the natural world, tattoo design, literature, conceptualism and photography are also covered in the first show of 2011 from an obscenely talented collective who are always worth catching when they pop up.
- Motorcade/Flash Parade, Philip Street, Bristol. Open 12pm-5pm. Admission free. Visit www.gradgallery.co.uk for more on Grad Gallery.
