A colourful illustrated poster titled “An Alphabet of Brighton” with the subtitle “by Alej Ez” at the top. Below the title is a grid of illustrated squares arranged alphabetically from A to Z. Each square contains a large letter and a small black‑and‑white or colour illustration representing a Brighton landmark, event, or local reference, with a short label beneath. Examples include A for Albion, B for Bandstand, C for Cricket, D for Dome, and E for Elm Trees. Other references include Brighton Festival Fringe, the Sea Lanes, the Marina, Naked Bike Ride, Artists Open Houses, Pride, Quadrophenia, the Rampion Wind Farm, the West Pier, the Duke of York’s cinema, and the Zip Line. The illustrations use a limited palette of bright colours such as pink, yellow, blue, orange, and purple, set against white margins. The overall style is playful, graphic, and poster‑like, celebrating Brighton culture and landmarks.

Artist Notes: Alej is an architect‑trained artist whose work centres on Brighton & Hove, explored through printmaking and drawing. Bringing a strong sense of structure and composition to each piece, the focus goes beyond architecture to capture the atmosphere of place—its rhythms, people and everyday moments. Brighton Alphabet forms a complete body of work in which each letter becomes a scene, reflecting the city’s social life, natural world and cultural character.
