Illustrated Talk by Antony Penrose - 'Roland Penrose and the British Surrealists'
Saturday 22nd September at 2.00pm.
Studio Gallery 6
After returning to London from Paris in 1936, Roland introduced Surrealism to an incredulous and hostile British public.
Reviled and ridiculed at the time, and beset with internal quarrels, the movement made a truly lasting impact on the arts in Britain.
The speaker is the son of Roland Penrose and the photographer Lee Miller, who took the photograph here of Roland in Paris.
We are delighted to welcome Antony back again to the Gallery and this promises to be an absorbing and illuminating occasion.
Please purchase your ticket from the Rye Arts Festival Box Office - £12.

Louis Turpin with Anna Lambert - a selling show.
15th September - 14th October
Gallery 3
Louis Turpin returns to the gallery with his beautifully rendered landscapes.
This latest body of works has been inspired by his recent travels.
‘This exhibition reflects three journeys I made last year. To Cornwall, to Edinburgh and finally to
Andalucia in Spain. It is completed this year by visits to gardens close at hand and travels through the landscapes surrounding Rye.
The exhibition will comprise oil paintings on canvas and ink drawings on paper.’
ANNA LAMBERT
Ceramicist Anna Lambert’s beautiful environmental forms accompany the show.
'Tales From The After Life' - a selling show by Matt Hardman
20th October - 11th November
Gallery 3
Hardman’s visions of a world, just a degree or two away from the one you inhabit, gives the viewer much to consider. Arresting and thought provoking imagery, figures in landscapes are rendered in a wonderfully painterly way with a gothic sensibility.
By turns, strange and sublime, disturbing and beautiful - a world off kilter.
Kate Iles
24th Novmber - 13th January
Gallery 5
A little show for Christmas.
Peek behind the curtain, where you will spy Kate’s magical illuminated picture boxes and feel the spirit of Christmas all around you.
