Sir Peter Blake-Solo Exhibition 31St March - 14Th April 2012
Sir Peter Blake-Solo exhibition 31st March - 14th April 2012 Sir Peter Blake is often referred to as the Godfather of British Pop Art. His work crosses all generational divides, and inspires great respect from younger artists such as Damien Hirst, Gavin Turk, Pure Evil and Tracey Emin. Knighted in 2002, an honorary doctor of the Royal Col- lege of Art, and with his work represented in major collections throughout the world, Sir Peter Blake truly is a grandee of British Art. Sir Peter Blake's work reflects his fascination with all streams of popular culture, and the beauty to be found in everyday objects and surroundings. Many of his works feature found printed ma- terials such as photographs, comic strips or advertising texts, combined with bold geometric patterns and the use of primary colours. The works perfectly capture the effervescent and opti- mistic ethos of the sixties, but are also strikingly fresh and contemporary. Blake is renowned for his connection with the music industry, having produced iconic album covers for the Beatles, ‘Sgt Peppers’ Lonely Hearts Club Band’, Paul Weller, The Who, and Oasis, as well as designing this years Brit Award. Blake remains as busy as ever in his 80th year; currently working on a new painting of St Martin for St Paul’s Cathedral (the first new artwork to be commissioned for the Cathedral since Wil- liam Holman-Hunt’s ‘The Light of the World’), a series of book covers for penguin, amongst many other projects.
