Classroom Suite: Aquarium, 2009
Since his career began in the 1950s, Sir Peter Blake has been prolific, creating paintings, collage, typography and more inspired by his fascination with popular culture. Blake’s impact on the face of contemporary art is so significant, he is now known as the ‘Godfather of Pop Art.’
Aquarium is signed, limited edition silkscreen print by British pop art legend Sir Peter Blake, part of the The Classroom Suite. Printed at Coriander Studios, published by CCA Galleries.
Each little fish in this print was cut-out from old reference and fishing books by hand. Sir Peter describes these "cutting" sessions as his relaxation time; he doesn't consider it work. This attention to minute detail leads one to imagine that Sir Peter has a touch of OCD, so stringent is his perfectionism. The result is a visually arresting collage from which a silkscreen has been created. Aquarium is so densely packed with fish it appears almost pattern-like, it could be an incredibly intricate wallpaper.
Size (cm): 95.8 x 71.2
