Artist research - Patrick Caulfield

Patrick Caulfield
Patrick Caulfield studied at the Chelsea School of Art from 1956 to 1960, and at the Royal College of Art from 1960 to 1963, where his fellow pupils included David Hockney and R. B. Kitaj. After he left, he returned to Chelsea as a teacher.
In 1964, he exhibited at the New Generation show at London's Whitechapel Gallery, which resulted in him being associated with pop art.



I like the way in this artists work he focuses on the use of colours and tones to create the camouflage. for example he uses the colour blue on the last picture to act as a shadow to hide other tones on the shapes and object. this is also reflected in the red image.
