Dean Zeus Colman: Pills
Prescription Art Gallery, Beaconsfield Parade, Brighton. Open: Check website. It's FREE. www.prescriptionart.com
FORMER street artist Zeus has drawn on his memories of growing up during the 1980s explosion of club culture for his new exhibition of hand-sculpted over-sized ecstasy pills made from plaster and printed with their own authentic branding.
“I was fascinated by how despite being illegal, branded culture was so integral to this scene – with logos of every type identifying the different pills available,” he says.
“In the same way that people have favourite sweets growing up, people looked for their preferred brand of tablets for their night out.”
