Damien Hirst visits Peter Blake’s studio | HENI Talks

Model elephants, collage, and an argument with Joseph Beuys… Damien Hirst visits the studio of Peter Blake, one of the leading figures of British Pop art. The two friends walk through rooms filled with objects amassed over a lifetime of collecting, whilst Blake recounts his entry into art school aged thirteen and the many artists he has encountered over the years. They go on to discuss their shared interests, mutual friends, and the influences that have shaped their art-making.

Loved this interaction. I got a bit chocked at the end when he said ‘I hope you for example, put it in your memory bank as a nice day where 2 old friends met and I showed you the studio’
I think this will definitely be a special memory for Damian.

I had the privilege of visiting Peter's studio around 2009 for some filming, a truly incredible place. Loved this video.

Thank you for this: so interesting to see where Peter Blake works & his collections, Damien asked very good questions and let Peter (a national/world treasure) talk.

[@HENITalks]

We're so pleased you enjoyed this insight, Jenny. We totally agree, there's a lovely rapport between Blake and Hirst.

[@normanstratford9329]

Talked to Peter Blake at The Arnolfini many years ago. At that time he was interested in the painting of Ruralist scenes. I asked about his direction in art. Perhaps he has forgotten about his lecture forum at The Arnolfini in Bristol.

[@HENITalks]

Nice to hear your memory of Blake, Norman. Hope you enjoyed the film!

[@phillipgates7710]

[@terrencemartinvideoshorts]

Is this the only consciousness these two can share

[@artbysvkart2624]

I’ll buy it

[@joseffinat966]

Begrijp het niet goed wat Arnolfini hier van doen heeft ,ik heb terloops te sprake gebracht dat er ook een schilderij verdwenen is van Arnolfini en daarmee ook een ander licht werpt over deze onderwerp ,maar wat ik bezit is een plaatje uit een kalender die weliswaar verborgen was en ik wilde het glas schoonmaken maar doordat er zoveel spijkertjes waren verwerkt vond ik wel vreemd ,dacht toen waarom zoveel spijkers voor een kalenderplaatje plus de datum wanneer het is ingelijst en door wie

What's better than this? Guys being Dudes.

[@joseffinat966]

Ik weet dat er een samenhang is maar welke is mij niet duidelijk,zeker symbolen ten over, maar wat de bedoeling is,is mij totaal onduidelijk, ja delicaat wordt er gezegd ,dus het engels schieten de woorden voorbij zonder hun betekenissen ,als u zo vriendelijk wilt zijn zal het wel duidelijker moeten zijn eerder kan ik er niets zinnigs erover zeggen,bovendien wilde ik niet meer reageren op een aantal zaken ,want ook ik loop tegen mijn grenzen aan, vooral hoe sommige uitspraken gepleegd worden ,denk ik waarom doen zij dat ,zie vele woorden die laten niets aan duidelijkheid over maar wel zo sarcastisch dat het mij uit mijn evenwicht brengt, denk ik je hoeft je niet te ergeren blokkeer mij dan gewoon dan is het probleem toch opgelost !!! 😢
