Original painting in acrylic, oil and spraypaint on stretched canvas. The appeal of the subject was for me not the figurative beauty of a peacock but its potential for abstraction. Symbolically charged, l wanted - through the act of deliberately letting the paint run its course - to disfigure the figure to create a visual tension to the image; where does beauty end and ugliness begin ? Is not everything a question of vanity?
