Blake has loved wrestling since childhood, drawn to what he calls “the theatre, the fantasy and the idea of good versus evil.” Krankie the Klown is all theatre: white greasepaint, a white skullcap and a bright red nose, staring out from a black background with the French tricolour beneath his name. He first appeared as a watercolour in Blake’s 2015 exhibition Portraits and People, among ten new wrestlers invented for the show.
Krankie brings together two worlds that run through Blake’s work: the wrestling ring and the circus sideshow.
