Get your portrait painted by REQ

For one day only at the Art Yard Sale, you can book a timeslot and have your portrait painted live by Brighton’s very own REQ.

With roots in graffiti and street art, REQ’s detailed paintings combine technical precision with interests in perception, place, time and memory.

He’s been at it since 1984, when he started out with wildstyle lettering and was breaking new ground in the UK graffiti scene. Street artist, fine artist and DJ, he’s painted live in bars, galleries and on the street, complete with easel and paint-splattered coat.

Now it’s your turn in the chair. Sit for a one-of-a-kind A3 ink portrait and take home an original by one of Brighton’s most respected artists.
