Is this the first public art ever inspired by a green wall?! New neon installation in Brighton

Is this the first public art ever inspired by a green wall?! Neon artist Andy Doig has created a new installation under the arches at Madeira Drive.

Part of a sequence of events to explore to ‘reimagine the seafront’, and part of the celebration of the 150th birthday of Madeira Drive Green Wall.

Go see it between 4 and 10pm, just west of Concorde 2.

Vincenzo Donlin

Local artist Vincenzo Donlini has created some atmospheric images of Madeira Drive. Featuring the terraces, the beach and the green wall, they are full of light, colour and texture. Visit his website.

These paintings were made on site in 2015 – not from photos – so tell of a time before ‘dereliction’. Postcards etc are available from the website.
