Eddie Peake

Destroying the Game

2016

For British artist Eddie Peake, "art-making is a blind feeling-out in the dark". In his artwork, feeling precedes understanding. Peake, who has stated his unwillingness to work clothed, often appears before viewers completely nude, using his body, voice, and actions to achieve a dramatic effect. Peake primarily uses airbrushing for his paintings, leaving the steel background exposed to exhibit his creative process. Provocative slogans are the subject of his paintings, and the artist also discusses essential differences between imagery and language.
