This beautiful giclee with silkscreen glazes is one of five new prints realises in Peter Blake’s ongoing Found Art series. nbspThe Found Art series enlarges non art objects and images to allow the viewer to see them in a new light. The enlargement of this page allows us to see every detail and sheen of texture of the eggs depicted, to see the page takes on an almost abstract quality, concerned with pattern colour and texture. The scientific layout of these specimens with their labelling etc. would hold great appeal to the collecting instinct of the artist.This page from nineteenth century natural history encyclopaedia showing the diversity of egg types in nature was chosen by Blake for its beautiful illustration. It is from one of the many books in Peter Blake’s collection which he uses for inspiration as well as for images to use in his collage work.
