Description
A 1968 screenprint by Patrick Caulfield, featuring a minimalist, graphic depiction of a wall lamp using flat colour and bold outlines.
Patrick Caulfield, a central figure in British Pop Art, produced Wall Lamp in 1968. This screenprint demonstrates his characteristic approach to the depiction of everyday objects. Caulfield strips the subject of its domestic context, presenting the lamp as a graphic icon rather than a functional item. The composition relies on flat planes of colour and bold, black outlines, which were hallmarks of his practice throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
The image features a simplified lantern form set against a stark, neutral background. A large, dark shadow dominates the space behind the lamp, creating a sense of depth that is simultaneously flattened by the artist's use of hard-edged shapes. The inclusion of a small sliver of yellow light provides the only indication of the lamp's purpose, yet this detail remains secondary to the overall geometric arrangement. Caulfield often utilised commercial printing techniques to achieve these clean, uniform surfaces, distancing his work from the expressive brushwork typical of earlier painting traditions.
By isolating the wall lamp, Caulfield invites the viewer to consider the object as a formal construction. The work avoids narrative or emotional content, focusing instead on the relationship between line, shape, and negative space. This print reflects the artist's interest in the tension between reality and representation, a theme he explored across his career. The deliberate lack of texture and the precise application of ink result in a clinical, detached aesthetic. This piece remains a clear example of his ability to transform mundane subjects into rigorous exercises in visual composition, maintaining a balance between the recognisable and the abstract.

Artist Biography
Patrick Caulfield
Caulfield left school at fifteen and got a job as a filing clerk at Crosse and Blackwell, the food company. He was moved to the design studio, where he washed brushes and varnished chocolates for display cases. He decided to become an artist after watching the 1952 film Moulin Rouge about Toulouse-Lautrec.
He joined the RAF at seventeen for national service, then studied at the Royal College of Art from 1960 to 1963, alongside Hockney, Allen Jones, R.B. Kitaj, and Derek Boshier. The 1964 New Generation exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery tagged him as Pop Art. He rejected the label for the rest of his life, calling himself a formal artist.
His paintings use bold, flat outlines and blocks of colour. They depict interiors, still lifes, restaurants, and domestic scenes with a deadpan quality that sits somewhere between commercial illustration and painting. The spaces are often empty or nearly so. A potted plant, a wine glass, a candle: the objects are ordinary but the treatment makes them strange. He was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1987. David Bowie and Charles Saatchi both collected his work. He died in 2005. The street in Acton where he was born was renamed Caulfield Road.
