Iceberg 2

By: Sir Peter Blake

The Venice Suite was inspired by Blake's trip to Venice for the Biennale of 2007. Each piece in the portfolio is a jewel of his trademark collage style. Blake combines traditional images of the city on the lagoon with visual excerpts from vintage childrens' books, photographs, postcards, as well as details from works of the old masters. This visual witticism is teamed with a palette of turquoise, gold and the grey of the stones of Venice to create a surreal fairytale vision of the city. Blake juxtaposes the baroque grandeur of the architectural icons of Venice with giant penguins, wartime bombers, Edwardian rowers and icebergs to name a few. The end result is a portfolio of works that are playful, imaginative, beautiful, immensely varied and representative of Sir Peter Blake's unique vision.

Iceberg 2 shows children playing on a flat iceberg that is blocking the grand canal. A steamer is pulled up behind the iceberg, and a wooden rescue boat is approaching to help.

'Iceberg 2' from the Boxed Portfolio set of 'The Venice Suite'. This is just for 'Iceberg 2' and not for the portfolio set. PLEASE NOTE THAT WWW.CCAGALLERIES.COM IS NOT ON THE PRINT.
