This expressive, figurative portrait is by Cliffton Peacock (1953-). The painting measures 40 x 34 inches (42 x 36 inches framed.) It is composed of oil on canvas. The painting is signed and dated (1991) on the reverse. As well, there is a gallery label from Obelisk Gallery in Boston on the reverse. The frame is a wood floating frame that works very well with the painting. The painting and frame are in very good condition.
Peacock received his M.F.A. degree from Boston University in 1977 where he studied with James Weeks, John Wilson and Philip Guston. He has received numerous distinctive awards, including three National Endowment for the Arts grants, three Massachusetts Artist Fellowship awards, an Englehard Foundation grant, a Louis Comfort Tiffany Fellowship, and Awards in the Visual Arts grants, sponsored by the Equitable Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, the Prix de Rome from the American Academy in Rome, a South Carolina Individual Artist Fellowship, and most recently, a 2001 fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation.
Peacock has exhibited his paintings nationally with solo exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, the Greenville Museum of Art, Greenville, SC, and the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, NC. His work is in the collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Hood Museum of Art, among others. He has been an Associate Professor of Fine Arts at the College of Charleston since 1996.

Excerpted from
Anna Wilson Lloyd’s review of Peacock’s work in Art in America June 4, 2010 -
“…Peacock’s minor-keyed palette and dissipating faces may also remind some of Luc Tuymans’s wan, mediated images. More to the point is that Peacock, born in Chicago in 1953, studied with Philip Guston at Boston University in the 1970s. The faces he portrays are more likely conjured from shadows swirling through his own imagination than arrived at from studying light effects or appropriated images.” less
