‘Union Flag (Small)’ – A signed, limited edition silkscreen
print with glitter by Sir Peter Blake.

Following the huge success of ‘Union Flag’ and ‘Union Flag
(Greyscale)’ in 2016, Blake created a smaller version of the glitter edition
later that year.

Flags have regularly featured in Blake’s work since the
1960s; his union flag motif continues his love affair with flags and his
country. In recent years Blake has explored patriotism in various works
including ‘England Forever’, ‘Hope and Love’, ‘Britannia’ and ‘24 Flags’.

“I am very patriotic and I love the Union Flag; the sense of
history it gives, the union between four great countries that it represents.
Over the years I have used printmaking to explore and experiment with the flag
in various ways; making large-scale digital prints from Union Flag badges (sewn
or enamel) or illustrations that I have collected. The new works are not based
on ‘found’ images of the flag. I wanted to use the variety of hand-applied finishes
available when you make a silkscreen, to play with the colours and textures of
this simple geometric pattern that is so familiar to us. The prints also
celebrate The Queen’s 90th birthday.” - Peter Blake
