Viewing: Pop Goes The Arts Club: The World of Peter Blake

British legend, Sir Peter Blake is subject of a solo show at The Arts Club on Dover Street where he sits as president. The exhibition embraces Blake’s joyful, multi layered pop cultural works, meticulously rendered watercolour portraits alongside intricate collages assembled from found objects that cast many a sharp allusion on the history of art. Blake, who is now in his 80s, has a long and illustrious career that is intertwined with the evolution of the British art world and the impact of pop culture. The Royal College of Art graduate first came into the limelight with the ground-breaking Young Contemporaries show at the ICA in 1961 where he exhibited alongside Hockney and R.B. Kitaj.
