Out of Town

Simon Grennan & Christopher Sperandio have been commissioned to work with 10 young people from across rural Rother to produce a series of vibrant cartoon portraits. Made in partnership with the sitters, these portraits will include narrative and set out to represent a personal and specific aspect of the youngsters’ lives.


Look for "Out of Town" in The Rye and Battle Observer.

Titled “Out of Town” the portraits will appear once a week for 10 weeks as full colour pages in the Rye and Battle Observer, starting 21 May. This way of distributing artworks will help to engage a new audience, taking contemporary culture right into the living room of around 18,000 local residents, some of whom may never have visited a gallery before.
