The Classroom Suite, 2009
The Classroom Suite comprises of four signed, limited edition silkscreen prints: 'On the Beach', 'Another Parade', 'Circus' and 'Aquarium' by Sir Peter Blake. Printed at Coriander Studios, published by CCA Galleries.
The Classroom Suite is inspired by posters and images created for children and used in the classrooms and nurseries of yesteryear. Their packed compositions reflect the fact that these posters were designed so that children could gaze at them repeatedly and find different details to capture their attention. Though very different from the pop art style Blake is most well-known, The Classroom Suite still contains an essential element of pop art doctrine: nostalgia. Blake combines childhood nostalgia (a theme that recurs in his work throughout his career), his love for collage, and his penchant for surreal juxtapositions to create a series of images that are at once comforting, comedic, witty, evocative and surprising.
From a limited edition of 100, the print is signed and numbered by the artist.
