This screenprint shows a combination of round, circular shapes and bright vibrant colours. Exhibition label from 'Fantasy Pop', 2021: Untitled Derek Boshier (b. 1937) 1964 Screen print Boshier was concerned with the impact of Americanisation on culture and world politics and his work often included reference to advertising and packaging. Untitled belongs to a series of work where he explores geometric patterns and architectural structures. A combination of round, circular shapes and vibrant colours, Boshier presents a futuristic, fantastical architectural form. Inspired by the technological developments, the Space Race and sci-fi films of the era, the floating structure is suggestive of an alien spacecraft. Artists such as Blake and Paolozzi had begun to introduce the basic elements of British Pop Art, but it was with the arrival of a younger generation of artists from the Royal College of Art in London, including Boshier and David Hockney, that Pop Art began to appear a more coherent move
