An exhibition featuring over 150 paintings on beer mats has opened in Great Yarmouth.

The showcase, titled 'Let Our Voices Be Heard', is by artist Martin Battye and is now on display at PrimeYarc in Market Gates Shopping Centre.

The collection spans five years and presents abstract colour fields, ingeniously using the beer mat's frame and the image beneath it to create new "small worlds".

Mr Battye has pledged to donate all proceeds from the sale of the artworks to two local charities.

Originalprojects manages PrimeYarc and provides art education opportunities, while Herring House Trust supports the town's homeless population.

The exhibition aims to depict the voices and experiences of homeless people in their own words.
