Tina Peacock

Tina Peacock is a British contemporary artist whose abstract painting explores resistance and the tension between stability and change. Her practice is concerned with structures that appear stable but are never completely fixed. Through layering, repetition, interruption and erasure, Peacock builds and rebuilds painted surfaces, exploring how forms can hold, resist, fracture, overlap and adapt. Her paintings emerge through a process of making and responding, allowing previous decisions to remain visible beneath new ones and creating surfaces that carry a sense of accumulated time, pressure and change. Experiences of loss, grief and domestic violence have shaped her understanding of resilience, relationships and the ways in which people respond to pressure. Rather than illustrating these experiences, Peacock translates their emotional and psychological impact into physical structures within the painting. Working primarily with vinyl emulsion paint (Flashe), acrylic, graphite and ink, Peacock creates paintings on canvas, paper and wood, ranging from intimate works to larger-scale pieces. Peacock is a selected Member Artist of ArtCan and exhibits both nationally and locally. Ahe has worked with organisations including Vortic Art, Cosimo Art and the Visual Artists Association. She has recently been awarded with a residency for Brison's Veor in Cape Cornwall.
