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.
