Raarr
Exhibition
Raarr (pronounced RAAARRGHHH) is an exhibition consisting of collaborative zoological drawings. However ordinary collaborations, they are not. The contributing artists will are a whole generation apart.
Twenty illustrators have been specially commissioned to draw a reptile, bird, mammal, amphibian, fish or insect of their choosing... sans-head or face. Upon completion these headless wonders will be passed onto the real talent: twenty eager school children who will receive the baton from the illustrators and complete the drawings; adding features, colour, limbs, even names, whilst not forgetting the all important heads.
All profits from the exhibition will be donated to the children's charity the NSPCC.
Thursday 19th January will see the launch of the exhibition where guests will be able to pick up one of the limited edition prints hand customised by the younger artists & listen too Hung Drawn & Quartered (NTS family) providing an auditory backdrop to the evening.
