Sir Peter Blake has taken his masterful use of collage to the next level in his recent release of a three-dimensional Circus Collage triptych. Three individual boxes have been created especially to house the three circus scenes, archival inkjet prints painstakingly cut out by hand and displayed as an audience watching a magical circus performance.
For these unique new editions Peter Blake has combined his love of the circus with his characteristic collaged crowds in a three dimensional format. The works are inspired by German illustrator Lothar Meggendorfer’s “International Circus” a pop-up book first published in 1887.
Each custom made box measures 43cm high by 55cm wide and 9cm deep and is available individually as either the Right, Centre or Left panel, but when put together the three boxes complete the whole scene of circus merriment.
