About
Cake Crumbs and Lemonade at Yorkshire Sculpture Park will be the largest solo exhibition to date by illustrator Louise Lockhart (aka The Printed Peanut).
Working from her studio on a farm in rural Wales, Lockhart primarily creates collage and print-based works using cut paper shapes to form richly coloured, folk-inspired imagery that celebrates the rituals of everyday life.
Inspired by the work of Mass Observation – a social research organisation founded in 1937 set up to study the everyday lives of ordinary people in Britain – Cake Crumbs and Lemonade offers a joyful and nostalgic reflection on the routines and rituals of the time. From seaside strolls and fairground rides, to lemonade labels and nights at the circus, Lockhart captures the charm of British leisure daily life. With a nod to Barbara Jones’ Black Eyes and Lemonade shown at the Festival of Britain at Whitechapel in 1951, Louise has sought to convey what makes up popular art today.
As an avid collector and documenter of the disappearing handmade and unique gems, Lockhart draws inspiration from printed fruit tissue, hand-painted shop signs and the everyday things that shape our visual culture.
