BRAG ART

About me:

.. British Rock Artists Group... We are B.R.A.G.,British Rock Artists Group,a Brighton (UK) based collective and currently have 10 active members.
B.R.A.G evolved from a group of artists who attended a workshop with screenprinting legend Chuck Sperry

The silkscreen music poster tradition still thrives in the USA today and is illustrative of the symbiotic relationship between music and poster art. With the progression into this century, everything seems possible in the sphere of silkscreen printing. Conventional themes are no longer valid, and the design knows no boundaries. The silkscreen-printing scene now includes a diverse array of artists from graphic design, contemporary art, traditional and Art Nouveau-motifs, all of whom incorporate new ideas, themes, materials and forms.

Whilst the British Movement of silkscreen poster printing is still in its infancy compared to the thriving tradition in the US, there has been a huge growth of interest, reflected in articles published in the Guardian, Creative Review, Grafix Magazine, and Design week. And, with the Flatstock Poster Exhibition exhibiting in Europe for the first time this year, existing enthusiasm for silkscreen printing can only be . In addition, we have begun to establish collaborative relationships with members of the entertainment industry and bring the joy of collectible posters to the community.

Exhibited in January 2007, Estonia, invited by the collective Non Grata. Fifty posters were displayed showcasing our work, contributing to an international print festival that was held in Parnu. We have exhibited at the Hotel Pelirocco,Brighton,the recent Poster smash in Bristol and will be showing work at the upcoming poster expo in Manchester. This year 4 members of BRAG went to San Francisco to work wth Chuck Sperry and Ron Donovan of Firehouse Studios and produced posters for the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love festival.
