Aquarium

By: Sir Peter Blake

Part of the The Classroom Suite . This just for 'Aquarium'

Every single little fish (of which there must be hundreds in this piece) were cut-out from old reference and fishing books by hand. Sir Peter describes these "cutting" sessions as his relaxation time; he doesn't consider it work. This attention to minute detail leads one to imagine that Sir Peter has a touch of OCD, so stringent is his perfectionism. The result was a visually arresting collage from which this silkscreen has been created. (Peter tells me that he still has plenty of fish left for cutting-out). Aquarium is so densely packed with fish it appears almost pattern-like, it could be an incredibly intricate wallpaper design.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CCA LOGO IS NOT ON THE SILKSCREEN PRINT.

The paper border has CCA's publisher stamp embossed in bottom right hand corner (not shown). Comes with a certificate of authenticity. Print signed and numbered by Sir Peter Blake.
