The exhibition includes pen and ink drawings, recently shown at Hastings Contemporary Gallery, plus new explorations in different formats and mediums, from ballpoint pen to the Stabilo Woody.
Blake presents his stunning large-scale portraits and imaginary compositions in his inimitable style, full of movement, humour, and pathos. The exhibition will also exclusively launch his latest book, 'The Art of the Ballpoint', a beautiful, hand-bound, signed, limited edition hardback of fifty exquisitely reproduced portraits.
