About this artwork
Richard Peacock has often used triangles in his work. This print joins the triangles to form incomplete hexagons – which made thorny, burr-like elements. This artist often draws from nature and has always liked Graham Sutherland’s spiky images (like Thorn Head, 1945). This piece grew section by section, quite organically. Richard wanted to give the impression the image continued beyond the edges of the paper, like a bramble spreading and the thorns…
an essential part of a living thing that produces flowers and fruit.

« 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.
