Found Art: Clowns- signed limited edition inkjet print with silkscreen glzaes by Peter Blake.
The circus and clowns in particular have always been a motif in Blake’s art. The subject matter is reminiscent of his exciting childhood excursions to the circus, and also reflects Blake’s interest in the folk and commercial art and signage that can be seen at circuses. Here we see a selection of vintage illustrations of clown faces in all their gaudy painted glory, a sort of rogue’s gallery of the circus. These faces evoke all the joy, colour and exuberance that we associate with clowning.
