Crisply drawn shapes-crescents, loops, ovals, circles and straight lines are bluntly placed on top of, or cut into, a process painted “ground”. These semi geometric shapes are often shaded with traditional modeling (“illusion”) adding to their deliberate, willful feeling. Process painting and gesture painting are here abruptly set against each other. The effect is funky, punky, goofy, humanizing, very playful yet presented with enormous passion and integrity. With this show, Peacock has achieved the assurance and consistency of a true master.
