 “Fire is the lifeblood behind the work,
it gives the work its soul and its spirit
shaping the colours I apply and
making each piece individual.”

~Sam Peacock

Sam Peacock has worked professionally as a painter since 2007, graduated from
Coventry University in 1998 with a BA in Fine arts. Immediately taken a sabbatical
from painting full time to teach art practice at several institutions in London until
returning to full time painting.
He's worked on several collections over the years and has solo showed in Berlin,
Sydney and London with several more shows planned into 2016. Recently
undertaken a 6 month project focusing on the effects of Hydraulic Fracturing within
the UK and gave an artist’s response in the form of 52 separate images, each titled
with a place name where planned fracking was to take place. 
His first solo in Sydney looked into the unseen landscape in NSW which culminated
in taking the idea to London and exhibiting works based on site visits, bushwalks,
and rock and earth samples collected whilst travelling and exploring.
Peacock has also taken responsibility as arts co-ordinator for the “Stratford Fringe
Festival” curating yearly shows across the town.
As his work has matured over the years, he has kept material links to previous
collections as motifs within the main body of the work, retaining the sugar and coffee
elements, the strips of liquorice which define the horizon line, the carbolic soap
alongside building materials such as plaster, the element of intense heat to distort
and infuse colour, the blinding areas of light tamed by a darkened varnish.
Peacock is currently working on various ideas regarding changes in the landscapes of
villages and towns in the South of England and across the North East coastline over
the past 1000 years culminating in the “Province collection and the tradition with
naming each piece after a site visit undertaken.
Sam Peacock is represented by galleries in London, Nottingham, Germany, Australia
and online.
