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.”

- Mother and ChildLocated in San Francisco, CAThis modern mid-century composition of mother and child is by Fernando Oramas (1925-2016.) It is an interesting composition, with the mother in side profile and her child staring ahead at the viewer. The painting is composed of oil on canvas and measures 18” x 14” (24” x 20” framed). It is signed in the lower right. On the reverse is Oramas’ name and address in Mexico. Oramas lived in Mexico in the 1950s and 1960s and this painting appears to date from that time, based on the style and the frame. The painting is in very good condition. The distressed wood frame goes very well with the painting. It is in fair to good condition, with some light scuffs on the edges that allow the wood color to show through the grey stain of the frame as well as a very small bit of separation between the pieces of the frame. Please look at the signature photo for a good image of a section of the frame. Oramas had a major exhibition of his work in St. Petersburg, Russia in 2016. Oramas studied at the School of Fine Arts of the National University, located in the old convent of Santa Clara, in the Center of Bogotá, where he met teachers, trained in renowned academies in Europe.
