'Paris- Butterflies II' - A signed limited edition silkscreen print by Sir Peter Blake. Available as part of Paris Suite portfolio box set.
Blake’s butterflies are pressed right up against the picture plane, creating a colourful screen through which we can view a collection of diverse and random characters. Butterflies have a recurring presence in Blake’s work, inspired equally by his admiration for the work of Damien Hirst (as seen in his solo show ‘Homage 10 x 5’ at Waddington Galleries 2010) and the beauty of the antique butterfly illustrations he finds in his huge collection of printed material.
