Sam Peacock

Inspired by rural and costal landscapes, Sam has challenged the traditional notion of landscape painting in every aspect of his work. His 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 20 years and exchanging the traditional paintbrush for a roller and a blow torch, Sam’s portfolio ranges from independent gallery shows to large scale art installations for prestigious hotels and extensive interior design projects.

In 2018, he made his debut in public art installations, commissioned by Islington council. The commission stands at 8 meters tall, cladding brick work with steel and colour. This allows the light to reflect off the surface, providing an ever changing landscape using light as a medium to explore.

Other notable works can be seen in the Novotel, Canary Wharf where Sam created his largest art work to date, spanning over 62 square meters.
