Patrick Caulfield
Retrospective exhibition at Tate Britain of the work of Patrick Caulfield shown as a partner
exhibition to the Gary Hume.
I loved these Pop
artesque pictures with their bold outlines but also subtle detail in the
finish. Somehow although the effect was very flat they also had a 3d quality. I
loved “Office desk against a blue window” for the wonderful silhouettes but
also for the fact he included the pen holder and detail of the items on the
desk.
I had seen his
work before but never realized the when he adds very detailed sections, such as
roses, that these are painted on. In my ignorance I had assumed they were
collage! I loved this contrast of the bold and the detailed.
I was also amused
at the way he depicted wallpaper and interior patterns, he is almost a Vuillard
of pop art!
