Overview

Sir Quentin Blake (b. 1932) has created an ongoing series of exhibitions for Jerwood Gallery featuring weird and wonderful creations and characters, all brought to life in his distinctive style. This latest series of work celebrates Blake’s love of reading and the important role that literature has played in his life and artistic career. Blake says: 'A lot of my work has been in books, and in fact reading books is the only thing in which I have a qualification! It is interesting to me to see the many different ways in which people do it.’
