Peter Blake - The Venice Suite at Paul Stolper

9th January 2009

Venice provides inspiration for a series of twenty brand new prints by the father of British Pop Art Peter Blake

 

Depicting an imagined, fairytale vision of the city, the prints draw from a host of source material and were inspired by the artist’s 2007 visit to the Venice Art Biennale.  Revealing fantastical scenes of the city in Blake’s trademark collage style, the prints incorporate images culled from postcards, photographs and second-hand books, details from familiar old masters and  illustrations from vintage children’s books.

The Venice Suite is the first part of a series that will see Blake embark on a world tour, a recurrent theme in the artist’s career.  He has already begun to create a Paris series, and plans to create prints of other iconic cities as he travels, including London and New York.

“Venice has been an inspiring place for me since my first visit in 1957 on a scholarship.  I spend my life collecting images, newspaper cuttings and vintage postcards which find their way into my work, and Venice has proven to be a treasure-trove of material.  I returned to the city in 2007 and found some beautiful embroideries and illustrations which will become part of future works“, he says.

Paul Stolper, 31 Museum Street, London, WC1A 1LH, 23 January – 28 February 2009, opening times: 10am - 6pm, Tuesday – Saturday or by appointment.

Breaking Art News

Headline: Rick Sanderson: Between the Lines

The fleeting movements of race horses in the parade ring, the glimpse of a gardener working between cypress trees in a Spanish garden and the light splashing across the nets of Thai fishermen on the Mekong river: just some of the themes transformed by Rick's use of luscious colours and lively rhythms. These are paintings that cross and re-cross the line between representation and abstraction leaving space for the viewers' imagination and tapping into the world of mythology and dream. A selection of the artist's intuitive sketches will be on show from his travels through Spain, India and South East Asia and, closer to home, journeys into the exuberant world of horse racing. Rick's vibrant pencil lines capture the vivid sights, sounds and smells encountered, and back in the studio, these delicate drawings are transformed into sumptuous, life-affirming paintings that layer rich imagery and meaning in dynamic pictorial spaces...
