Eastbourne's Towner Art Gallery is transformed into an enormous colourful work of art

The gallery in Devonshire Park is celebrating its 10th birthday by being transformed into a work of art itself by abstract artist Lothar Gotz.

It was an idea hatched by Towner bosses in collaboration with local business Brewers Decorator Centres, which supplied the bold paint.

Mark Brewer, of Brewers, said it is probably the largest artwork in the country at the moment.

He said, “We are thrilled to be commissioning this unique project. I think it’s a fantastic celebration of colour and design. It puts the Towner in the spotlight and is another good reason for people to visit the town.

“We love Eastbourne, we have expanded to a nationwide business with 180 stores but it’s great to be able to help Eastbourne.

“Together, Brewers and the Towner have been bringing colour and design into the town for more than a hundred years, and here it's shouting loud."
