Permanent Sir Peter Blake art installation at London’s Gatwick Airport to give a unique, British welcome to passengers

Gatwick Airport has commissioned Sir Peter Blake, the godfather of British pop art, to create a walk-through gallery of London-inspired artwork that captures the city’s cosmopolitan and multicultural spirit.

The collection includes:
· 12 different creatives
· ‘Teaser’ vinyls along the airport piers
· Canvass collection in the North and South Terminal baggage halls

Godfather of British Pop Art Sir Peter Blake has been collaborating with CCA since 2003, producing spectacular original prints. His work crosses all generational divides, and inspires great respect from younger artists such as Damien Hirst, Gavin Turk, Pure Evil and Tracey Emin. Knighted in 2002, an honorary doctor of the Royal College of Art, and with his work represented in major collections throughout the world, Sir Peter Blake truly is a grandee of British Art.

This is a permanent installation at Gatwick, designed provide a warm welcome to visitors, to continue the legacy of ‘Brand Britain’ and to inspire the British public for many years to come.
