Patrick Caulfield's work

Caulfield's work is characterised by a reductive, streamlined use of line and the depiction of banal, everyday objects saturated in colour. He consistently used screenprint for his graphic work following his introduction to the medium by artist Richard Hamilton and printer Chris Prater in 1964. The deceptive simplicity of his images, perfectly matched by the aesthetic capacities of the process, is clear throughout the various phases of his printmaking career.
