Sponsored by Burt, Brill And Cardens for the seventh year running, this year's graduate show reveals the emerging talent from Brighton University.

Illustration, fashion, photography, printmaking and three-dimensional crafts are just some of the departments open to the public. A particularly strong area this year is sculpture.

Lucy Boize is undoubtedly the star of the sculpture exhibition.

With a work of strength and resonance, Boize has represented the dynamics of family life through a group of chairs she has altered.

The father is symbolised by a chair with a table top attached to it. At the end of the chair arms, gold cuffs signify the "head of the table".

Another chair is riven with holes, like exaggerated woodworm. Attached to it is a gold wedding ring, representing a fragile mother.

Arching over the hybrid furniture is a chair with elongated legs and seat,representing the family values that bind relatives together.

Lee Regan's sculpture questions working and middle-class values.

He takes common items and twists them to create slapstick comments on social politics and consumer culture.

His quirky works include Proletariat Roulette, a dartboard that constantly spins so it's impossible to use.

His staggered buckets, which are stuck to the wall, fill up with water, one after the other, then spew the water out of the building - a reference to the outpouring of ideas and emotions in any art institution.

Regan says: "I want to make art that is entertaining. Art is based on class structure and humour can bridge that gap."

In the painting department, Anne Parkkali's large-scale, brightly- coloured acrylic canvases focus on environmental and ecological issues.

Parkkali, who gained a scholarship to attend Nagoya University in South Tokyo for a term, says: "My trip to Japan had an incredible influence on my work. Japanese stone gardens inspired my large paintings, which are concerned with the power of the elements."

The breadth of ideas and creativity found here is well worth seeing.
