Brush Strokes
Fine art blended with light entertainment
Art director and illustrator Chris Barker started a viral phenomenon on Twitter with his series of hilarious and irreverent artwork of UK light entertainment from the 1970s, '80s, and '90s mashed up with famous artworks from across the centuries. If you watched any TV in the UK during this period, you will love this book. Featuring 71 artworks, and a cast you will recognise, but as you've never seen them before. Possibly the funniest book in all of art history, this much-anticipated book is now available to purchase in a limited edition print run. With a foreword by journalist and author Caitlin Moran.

“Genius”
“Fabulous”
“Art, but not as we know it, except that we do. All the comfort of a history of art course combined with a weird satirical joyfulness, sometimes alarming but always amusing.”
