Sir Peter Blake stands as a foundational figure in British Pop Art, whose practice redefined the relationship between high art and popular culture. From the early post-war period onward, his work has combined painterly tradition with imagery drawn from music, mass media, and collective memory. Across more than seven decades, Blake has maintained a rare balance between cultural commentary and visual pleasure, securing his place as one of the most influential artists of his generation.

The artist's current solo exhibition Facts and Faces is on view at Wetterling Gallery Stockholm until March 7, offering fresh insight into the enduring breadth and wit of his work.
