In 2019 Furr created a series of screenprints to be sold at the Art Car Boot Fair in London of that year. The prints were created by Furr at Richmond Art College when he was living in Ham.

The screenprint is interesting in that it is the first time Furr uses this medium since Art college first at Wirral Met and then at Leics Polythechnic. The piece combines two genres - landscape and still life. This fusion or crossing of genres is also happening in the 'cheesescape' paintings of this time where the 'food' appears in the foreground of the image and in the top part of the composition, the landscape appears. "Why battenberg? I think pastel yellow and pink is a winning combination. I find Joe Orton -the playwright- a fascinating character. He was quite rebellious. With his partner Kenneth Halliwell he used to visually alter insipid book covers at Islington library for fun and put them back on the shelves. I liked this idea of turning the mundane on its head.

I read that Leonie Orton, Joe's sister published a book about her memories of Joe and this was a memory from the book... "And then there was the cake. Joe appeared from the kitchenette holding aloft a plate in the middle of which sat a battenberg. He was parading in front of us, holding the plate like an exhibit at an auction. Turning the plate around he began to elucidate on it's wonderful so magical qualities; the pink and yellowness of the sponge and the precision of the marzipan. They both agreed it was as perfect as a cake could be. To me it was just an ordinary factory produced Lyons Battenberg but they were discussing it like it was a work of art.,br. I found out, after choosing to paint it, from my sister, that Battenberg was my Dad’s favourite cake too.
To me a Battenberg is as valid a subject as Durer's grass in 'The Great Piece of Turf' To me this is 'The Great Piece of Cake' Maybe I am something of a connoisseur of ordinariness as I do find beauty in the mundane and put it on a pedestal.
This screenprint is a depiction of two things I like - cake and the seaside. If you are British it is cake by the sea and if you are American - cake by the ocean" - Christian Furr
