Peggy Angus: Designer, Teacher, Painter
On a recent trip to visit family in Eastbourne I had the pleasure of visiting the Towner Gallery. It’s set back from the seafront tucked between the Congress Theatre, the lawn tennis club and the college and what a treat it is! Like many buildings built in the last few decades it is much more enjoyable to look at the interior than the exterior but it would be almost unthinkable that any regenerative art gallery built 1995-present could have escaped the ‘white plaster, glass and cladding’ disease. The Towner certainly hasn’t.
Still! Architecture aside, there is plenty of exhibition space with three floors rising up from the lobby and a café with wonderful views over the west end of town and up to the Downs and some deliciously exposed concrete render. The exhibit on the first floor was Designing the Everyday: from Bloomsbury and Ravillious to the Present Day and it was genuinely one of the most interesting and well put together exhibits I have ever seen, what’s more it was free. It’s only on until the 31 August so if you find yourself in Sussex in the next week or so it’s a must-see.
I could write a post about it but I feel slightly like Ravillious, Bawden and Sutherland have all had enough time in the limelight. Instead I want to talk about the paid exhibit; Peggy Angus: Designer, Teacher, Painter.
