Went to a Peter Blake exhibition in Harrogate (whaaaat they never show contemporary art in harrogate?! well this time they did.) the other day. It was a gallery called Redhouse Originals and the place was nice and fresh, the guys were super friendly and they were playing adam green, siiiiigh. Peter Blake was one of the leaders of the pop art movement and he is fucking fantastic. He is a special sort of genius. Worked with loads of stars. Here are my photos, apologies they're not so good. But you get the idea, vivid unmixed colours, bold geometric shapes, lots of collage and a fascination with celebrities. These are all screenprints, not that you can tell.
