Peter Blake – Venice - Exhibition poster, 2009 – Screen-print

View in a Room

Screenprinted poster. Hand-signed by artist.

Set within wide white margins, a small Victorian-engraved Venetian scene unfolds: gondolas slip across the Bacino di San Marco, the Doge's Palace and the Salute rise in the distance, while in the foreground period crinolined ladies and a row of black-and-white penguins crowd the canal edge — Blake's signature pop-collage of high culture and natural-history vignette. Hand-signed 'Peter Blake' in pencil beneath the image. To acquire a Blake exhibition poster is to bring home one of the wittiest and most beloved voices of British Pop.

Peter Blake (United Kingdom, 1932) is a celebrated British artist and a key figure in the Pop Art movement. Known for his vibrant collages and iconic album covers, including The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, his work often draws on pop culture, nostalgia, and everyday imagery, blending fine art with commercial aesthetics.

Screen-print

Screen-printScreen printing is a technique where ink is transferred through a mesh onto a substrate, with areas blocked by a stencil to prevent ink from passing through. This method, also known as serigraphy or silkscreen printing, is commonly used to produce prints on posters, T-shirts, vinyl, stickers, wood, and other materials. The process is a type of stencil printing, allowing for vibrant, detailed designs on various surfaces.

I wanted to make an art that was the visual equivalent of pop music.
- Peter Blake

Widely recognised as one of the most prolific artists of the Pop Art movement, Peter Blake is perhaps best known for his co-creation of the Beatles’ album cover for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club and the creation of the cover for the Band Aid single, ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’. The common factor uniting all of Blake’s artistic outputs is his long-standing love of icons and popular culture – he has stated: “All a country has is it’s culture; the rest is infrastructure”. One of Blake’s most popular works was a Through the Looking Glass-inspired painting titled ‘For instance now, now there’s the messenger’ - the depiction of a forlorn-looking Mad Hatter, shackled by the ankle and sitting on a stool, and just one of many of his works that paid tribute to classic English literature and folklore.

Who are the Young British Artists - YBA

Young British Artists (YBAs), also known as Britart or Brit artists, refers to a group of artists who began exhibiting together in London in 1988. Most of them graduated from the BA Fine Arts course at Goldsmiths in the late 1980s. The YBAs are known for their wild lifestyles, use of unconventional materials, and a combination of entrepreneurial and oppositional attitudes. They dominated the British art scene in the 1990s and gained significant media attention. Many of these artists were initially supported and collected by Charles Saatchi, a key figure in their rise to prominence.
