Nick Blinko’s extraordinary new book of his artwork, Visions of Pope Adrian 37th. It consists of 87 drawings, a brief introduction by Blinko, and a short piece on Blinko from the acclaimed writer, and specialist, on outsider art Professor Colin Rhodes. The drawings are reproduced in their original A5 size.
Larger versions of a selection of the featured drawings can be viewed on the Coptic Cat website.
There are two different editions, a standard edition and a special edition.
This standard edition is limited to 370 copies, is bound in dark maroon Arbelave Buckram and the front image and spine text are gold-blocked onto the cover. The book has purple head- and tail-bands and black endpapers. Each copy contains an original portrait of Pope Adrian 37th, drawn by Blinko, who has also signed the same page, making every copy of the book unique. The standard edition costs £37 plus postage and packing.
Pope Adrian 37th Psychristiatric was originally the title of a 1995 concept album by Nick’s band Rudimentary Peni, written while he was being detained in an English psychiatric hospital under Section 3 of the UK’s 1983 Mental Health Act. During that period, Nick was convinced that he was Pope Adrian 37th. Visions of Pope Adrian XXXVII was also the name Nick gave to a multimedia colour painting/drawing of his which was exhibited at St Martin in the Fields Church, London, by the National Schizophrenia Fellowship—now known as Rethink. The painting was executed in the 1980s, and was originally, and unsatisfactorily, titled Kaleidoscope before being re-named in the next decade
