On May 27th 2020, we had the pleasure of welcoming Derek Boshier for a live conversation on our instagram channel.
Derek Boshier is an English artist, among the first proponents of British pop art. His contribution to that scene was a strong satirical edge, which distinguished his work from his contemporaries. Taking a non-hierarchical approach to the use of popular images has been a long-running theme within Boshier’s work, making use of the Pepsi logo in place of the rising sun and other iconic images such as Kellogg’s cornflakes logo and iconic striped toothpaste image.
