Michael Peel Signed Limited Edition OP Art Silkscreen 1968 Beach Situation

Artist Name:  Michael Peel

Title: Michael Peel: Beach Situation – Signed Limited Edition OP Art Silkscreen (1968).

This exceptional artwork presents a signed limited edition OP art silkscreen titled “Beach Situation,” created by the late artist Michael Peel (1940-2017). Peel’s artistic contributions were widely exhibited in the United Kingdom and abroad. Influenced by visionaries such as John Heartfield, Hannah Hoch, and Marshall McLuhan, Peel’s poster interventions reflect the idealism of the post-war era, the hedonism of the 1960s, and the harsh realities of political and social upheavals spanning from the 1970s to the 1990s. His work also encompasses the emergence of the informational age and delves into themes of chaos, uncertainty, and insecurity.

Peel’s approach to teaching was a vital extension of his practice, challenging the perception of print as solely a technical or craft-based endeavor and redefining its role within artistic practice. The “Beach Situation” silkscreen showcases Peel’s mastery of OP art, characterized by optical illusions and geometric patterns, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a visually captivating experience. This limited edition print is a testament to Peel’s artistic legacy and his profound impact on the art world.

Description

Michael Peel (b.1940 – d.2017). Michael Peel exhibited widely in the UK and abroad.

His poster interventions had their antecedents and influences in the visual and conceptual languages of John Heartfield and Hannah Hoch along with the writings of Marshall McLuhan; the idealism of the post war period; the hedonism of 1960’s; the hardened realities of the political and social upheavals of the 1970’s to 90’s; and the dawn of the informational age. Later work explored ideas of chaos, uncertainty and insecurity.

Teaching was an important extension of Peel’s practice. His unique approach to a subject that had long been seen simply as a technical or craft based activity, helped redefine the role of print within artistic practice.
