The work on show is by Fergus Gillman, Adrian Luty, Claire Fearon, Mikaela Perera and Louise Body.

Following a career in the fashion industry, first as an Armani model then as a designer who clothed Princess Diana and Ivana Trump, Fergus Gillman decided it was time to follow up his natural inclination to be an artist.

He has taken that one stage further and set up a gallery that includes his own work and that of countless other artists.

The deceptively spacious gallery is currently showing the work of Manchester artist Adrian Luty.

His iconic images include a collage of Posh and Becks, framed by fashion labels favoured by the couple, and a picture of Madonna on a light box, commenting on the diva as an icon of our age.

A great range of Brighton artists is also on show. Prices vary from £25 to £2,000 as Gillman wants the work to be accessible to all.

His own work consists of three-dimensional, hand-moulded wire mesh sprayed in different colours and attached to silk backgrounds.

In these works, Gillman betrays his fashion background with reference to fabric and an element of exquisite Eastern design.

Prominent Brighton artist Claire Fearon's textured circles take a striking place here.

With a remarkable talent for heightening colour, Fearon's circles made of broken brushstrokes form expressive works that people find themselves inevitably drawn to.

Fearon says: "The thing I find most rewarding is how passionate people who own my paintings seem to feel about them. People describe them as simplistically hip yet very powerful.

"Personally, I really like the way they never look the same twice due to their three-dimensionality and the way they reflect the light."

Resident artist of the gallery Mikaela Perera roots her art in the many years spent living in the Caribbean. One painting has black lava, pumice and sand mixed in with the paint.

Perera is inspired by volcanic lava fields and natural sculptures which result from eruptions. She says of the lasting influence of the Caribbean on her art: "I love the geology, the water, the people and the flavour of the experience."

Louise Body's prints of butterflies on painted canvas possess a peaceful sense of balance. In creating these works, she draws on memory, books, drawings and personal experience.

She says of the motifs she repeatedly uses, such as butterflies: "They are embodiments of memories and symbolise journeys and points in time."

Space Gallery is also open for drinks and food.
