Peter Blake

Peter Blake
'An Alphabet' by Peter Blake, 'Y'.

Blake's 'Alphabet', a series of silkscreen prints, indulges his fascination with letters, fonts and typography. In the press release for the exhibition of the prints held at the Paul Stolper Gallery in East London last November Blake tells of his love for lists and 'things that have a beginning and a very specific ending', which the alphabet certainly does.

I find the repetition throughout the series and within each print quite exciting, I think I might be a bit OCD.
