100 Figures: Blake’s Unseen Art

An insight into the creative practice of the world’s most celebrated illustrator

Quentin Blake is known across the globe for his illustrative work, most notably for bringing the characters in Roald Dahl’s children’s books to life. What’s less well-known, is that from his early career until the present day, he has also been a prolific figurative artist.

In this landmark exhibition at House of Illustration, 100 of Blake’s figurative pieces go on display for the first time.

Featuring oil paintings, drawings, and prints, the exhibition gives visitors an unprecedented insight into the creative practice of the world’s most celebrated illustrator. A must-visit for Blake fans.

100 Figures: The Unseen Art of Quentin Blake exhibition is on display from 5 October until 27 January 2019. Book your tickets here.
