Description

St Barnabas, 2016. Artist: Peter Blake. Materials: Archival inkjet print on Somerset Enhanced Satin 330gsm Paper. Edition: Edition of 100. Dimensions: 29.7 x 21cm (unframed). Price: £250. Peter Blake's work brings together his love of popular culture and a fascination with vintage ephemera, or 'Found Art'. As a founding father of the Pop Art movement in Britain, he has long incorporated printmaking in its various forms within his widely varied practice, as a means of making Artworks which are accessible and celebrate both our obsessive interest in pop culture, and the art found in everyday objects. For this edition, produced exclusively for The House of St Barnabas, Blake has placed an iconic image of St Barnabas within a graphic composition, giving the subject his distinct pop art flavour, while referencing traditional Christian iconography.
