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.
