'Found Art: To a Darling Child'- A signed, limited edition inkjet print with gold leaf and silkscreen glazes by Sir Peter Blake. Printed at Coriander Studios, published by CCA Galleries.
This delicate and touching image has been selected by Blake from his collection of Victorian and Edwardian occasion cards. The use of these cards has recurred in his work from 1991’s V is for Valentine to last year’s Faith, Hope and Charity. Their appeal for the artist lies in their heartfelt sentiment as well as the opportunity to show that the manner in which that people expressed love one hundred years ago isn’t so very different from today. The detail and varied texture of the card is showcased by enlarging it (up to 50x its original size); highlighting the intricacy of the paper-cut border and painted petals.
