Sam Peacock

Sam Peacock works from his studio shop based in Battle, East Sussex. Inspired by rural and coastal landscapes, Sam has been challenged the traditional notion of landscape painting in every aspect of his work. Peacocks, unique interpretation of landscape painting involves the use of non-traditional oil base paints, varnishes, coffee grains and a variety of raw materials, all composed on a sheet of steel. Colour, being a major aspect of the work is inspired by the colours of the land itself with each pallet being created from one specific location. Experimenting with the balance of colour and light on steel over the last 30 years and exchanging the traditional paintbrush for a roller and a blow torch, Peacock's unique take on art has propelled Peacock's career, making him one of the most sought after contemporary landscape artist of our time. 

Peacock's portfolio ranges from independant gallery shows to large scale art installations for prestigious hotels and extensive interior design projects. Last year his art made its debut as a public installation piece, commissioned by Islington council, in central London. The commission stand 8 meters tall cladding brickwork with steel and colour, letting the light reflect of the surface of the steel and providing an every changing landscape using light as a medium to explore. Other notable works can be seen in the Novotel, Canary Wharf where Peacock created his largest art work to date, spanning over 62 square meters of wall using just over half a tonne of steel. This permanent wall covering, and installation piece completely immerses you into the rural and man-made landscape projections of Peacocks world.
