About this artwork
In this piece Richard Peacock used octagons as the unit of construction for the first time. The lozenges made by the overlaps reminded him of the sections making up numbers in digital displays. He chose a restricted set of 8 colours, each repeated 3 times: 4 bright colours (yellow, pink, orange and sky blue) matched with browns, a grey and black.The title comes from the early days of colour television – both the test card and the first colour test…
transmissions films run in Britain on BBC2 in the late 1060s. As a child he remembered in particular a test film that was run frequently about the history of paint and when his father first bought a colour TV he used to put his eyes really close to the screen to see the red, blue and green coloured dots that made up the larger image.

« My printmaking combines elements of pop art, minimalism, and abstraction. »
Richard Peacock is a painter and printmaker based in the U.K. who has exhibited his artworks in London. While he loves abstract art, Peacock's compositions contain numerous links to the world we live in. He often uses recycled materials in his work, including discarded packaging as stencils for screen prints and builders cable drums for woodcuts. Colour, repetition, and variation are all key elements in his artistic expression.
