ABOUT THE ARTISTS BEING SHOWN
SIR PETER BLAKE
Sir Peter Blake was a pioneer of British Pop Art in the 1960s and is now one of Britain’s most eminent and best loved artists. Throughout his long and distinguished career he has made little or no distinction between ‘art’ and ‘design’ and has ploughed his own course with integrity and stamped his vision and personality on the past 5 decades. Find out more here.
DAVID SPILLER
David Spiller belongs to the Pop tradition, but he is in no sense an orthodox Pop artist. He is a graffitist, manipulating scribbled inscriptions and images, recycling concepts from popular culture and childhood memories, images from comic strips and lyrics from popular songs. Being younger than the Pop artists, Spiller developed a different approach and offered another comment on the new mass-market urban culture. Read more here.
DAMIAN ELWES
In the early 1980s he was an early exponent of graffiti. A chance encounter with Keith Haring led to the start of his career as an artist. During the summer of 2019, Elwes visited the studios of many artists in New York, Gaeta, and London and began painting all the places, trying to describe moments in time when those artists were at their most inventive. "My paintings peer into private spaces where artists have used their creativity and imagination to change the way we perceive the world.” Read more here.
