‘P is for Pachyderm’ forms part of a set of bold and colourful silkscreen prints produced in 1991, one for each letter of the alphabet. Each print adopts Peter Blake’s typical and unmissable style of working, incorporating ‘found’ imagery from magazines, postcards and popular ephemera. This piece features a zoological theme encompasses a collage of different elephant images. Peter Blake for the most part chooses images from antique postcards, photographs and illustrations and a clear focus on the circus as well as Andy Warhol’s image of an elephant. ‘P is for Pachyderm’ is signed and numbered by the artist.
