The day after Richard Ansett gave a talk at the Elysium Gallery Bar in High Street, Swansea he opened his exhibition ‘The Tale of Austin Callaway’ at Coventry Cathedral. He has travelled to Townhill in Swansea to produce these disquieting and arresting documentary portraits, ( Brett Rogers, The Photographers Gallery London.)

Living in London, Richard has work in the National Portrait Gallery, London, The Library and Archives of Canada, and the Smithsonian Institute in America.

His powerful, no holds barred images of the people of Town Hill have an empathy of a disenfranchised community, so it was no surprise to see the collection box for The Samaritans! Once again the Elysium Gallery have produced a not to be missed exhibition, so do go and see it, open until the 20th of November. Wednesday – Saturday, 11am-6pm.
