Michael Peel Signed Limited Edition OP Art Silkscreen 1968 Slab City

Artist Name: Michael Peel

Title: Michael Peel: Slab City – Signed Limited Edition OP Art Silkscreen (1968).

This extraordinary artwork features the talent of Michael Peel, a widely exhibited artist who left a significant impact on the art scene in the UK and abroad. Created in 1968, “Slab City” is a signed limited edition OP art silkscreen that reflects Peel’s artistic interventions influenced by the visual and conceptual languages of John Heartfield and Hannah Hoch, as well as the writings of Marshall McLuhan. Peel’s artistry captures the idealism of the post-war period, the hedonism of the 1960s, and the harsh realities of political and social upheavals that spanned from the 1970s to the 1990s.

As Peel’s career progressed, his later works delved into themes of chaos, uncertainty, and insecurity, exploring the evolving landscape of the informational age. Peel’s artistic practice extended beyond his own creations, as teaching became an important aspect of his work. With a unique approach that transcended the technical and craft-based aspects, Peel redefined the role of print within artistic practice, contributing to its broader significance and artistic value.

“Slab City” stands as a testament to Peel’s mastery of OP art, characterized by optical illusions and geometric patterns that captivate viewers. This signed limited edition silkscreen is a remarkable piece from an artist who not only created impactful art but also played a significant role in reshaping the perception and role of print within the artistic realm.

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.
