Peter Blake continues his celebrated Butterfly Man series, placing his enigmatic character against a vibrant Japanese cityscape. The collage technique merges vintage postcards with delicate butterfly imagery, creating a surreal juxtaposition between urban modernity and natural beauty. The mysterious figure, a recurring motif in Blake's work, reflects his fascination with wanderers and cultural cross-pollination. The piece draws from Blake's pop art roots while incorporating elements of Japanese visual culture, demonstrating his ability to blend diverse cultural references.
