The artwork titled “Red Power” was created by the artist Peter Blake in 1972. Part of the Pop Art movement, this portrait genre piece is included in the series “The Wrestlers.”
The artwork features a striking portrait of an individual with a serious expression, set against a vibrant orange background. The subject, depicted with dark hair, is clothed in a blue garment with red accents. The text “Red Power” is prominently displayed both on the garment and at the bottom of the piece in bold lettering, emphasizing the theme and likely invoking a sense of strength and defiance. The simplified color scheme and bold, graphic style are characteristic of Pop Art, engaging the viewer with its strong visual presence and cultural reference.
