About The Work
This edition by Eddie Peake is both an artwork and an accessory–a spray painted scarf that is designed to be worn. Peake is a diverse artist whose multi-faceted work incorporates dynamic performances that focus strongly on voyeurism, sexuality, and gender, as well as photography, painting and sculptures which reference popular culture, the body, and the language of social networking. The idea for this edition came directly from the props that Peake uses to develop his paintings where a simple, smiley face has been masked out of abstract spray painted swirls using the silhouettes of two plastic bags for the eyes and a draped scarf for the mouth. During the process of painting, the scarves take on the diaphanous clouds of colour from each sprayed layer, an effect that the artist has recreated for this edition, each of which he has uniquely painted.
