SIR PETER BLAKE The ‘Godfather of Pop Art’ Sir Peter Blake has been practicing since the 1950’s and an array of his classic and notorious vibrant pop art prints and intricate collage-style prints are on display. His works involve snippets of consumerist culture, with an involvement of Blake’s personal interests and a portrayal of his past memories.

Wooden Puzzle - New Set Release A series of five new silkscreens created from collages of printed ephemera and objects from Peter Blake’s extensive personal collection. Through the use of collaged elements, embossing, glazes and glitter Blake gives this series a tangibility and depth that is akin to the original materials. His theme throughout Wooden Puzzles is once again the everyday and popular from a bygone age. Cutlery and crayons meet postcards, cartoons and pin-ups. Each work is a jewel of colour and form; together they tell a story of the major influences in Blake’s work; from his interest in found art and objects to his nostalgia for a childhood age of innocence and excitement.

BRUCE MCLEAN Bruce McLean is a well-established painter and printer that studied under Anthony Caro at St. Martins School of Art. Through his humorous and mocking tone he expresses his dislike of the pompousness of the art world. The prints on show bear similarities to the late collage works of Henri Matisse, projecting the same level of colour and vibrancy.
