He has exhibited widely, including at the Kyoto Cultural Museum, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, and The Dowse Art Museum and was the Supreme Winner of the 2023 Craigs Aspiring Art Award. Recent solo projects include On Canvas (Aotearoa Art Fair, 2023), Like Pleasures of the World (Alexandra Museum, 2023), and Alta (Te Atamira, 2025). Blake is currently co-director of Superpartner, a contemporary art gallery in Arrowtown.
