A key feature of the exhibition is a recreation of Blake’s West London studio, offering insight into the environment where many of his works were produced. Alongside this, a wide selection of his art will be shown, reflecting his long-standing interest in music, film, advertising, and everyday British life. The exhibition will also highlight his connections to the cultural history of London, including the creative energy of the 1960s and his collaboration on the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover.
