‘World Tour: Cannes – Statuary’ - A signed, limited edition 24 colour silkscreen print featuring gloss and glaze by British pop art master Sir Peter Blake. Available individually or as part of the set of ten World Tour images.
Blake combines the serenity of a sunny evening in Cannes with a bizarre crowd of collaged figures who are appreciating a collection of statuary. Blake's joyfully plays with perspective, which accentuates the surreal nature of the image. The statuary is dominated by ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, whilst the crowd is composed of figures from every conceivable time and location. Hidden within the composition is Blake’s witty play on the idea of people 'posing' on the beach. The human body as depicted in ancient sculpture has always been considered the height of perfection, something many strive to achieve when posing in beachwear!
