New SOLO Exhibit with Paula Peacock, Nov 12 - Dec 6, 2020

The Awakening by Paula Peacock

D'art Gallery

900 Santa Fe. Dr.

Denver, CO

 

I am exhibiting at the D'art Gallery Nov 12 - Dec 6, 2020, with my solo exhibit titled Altered Soul. 

Altered Soul is an exhibit depicting the journey of an artist's struggle with grief after the loss of a loved one to violence.  The artist is me, Paula Peacock, and the loved one, my son.

Each painting and sculpture beckons you to lean in and feel the expressions of loneliness, anger, confusion, and depression of the artist. This visual journal was my art therapy, defining grief in a way I couldn't define with words. It lifted me from a very dark place up to the surface and even higher to a place of spiritual awakening and an understanding of unconditional love and forgiveness giving me a desire to help others to take that step upward into the peace of mind we all deserve.

I have watched this exhibit turn into a cathartic and cleansing experience for others viewing the art, who express their relief in knowing their grief is understood, they are not alone and never have been. For there are people who have walked in their shoes and know their despair in the inability to reach out and the inability to define their grief in words.

 

I will be at the gallery every Saturday, from 12 pm - 5 pm, and Sundays from 1 pm - 4 pm to chat and answer questions. I will host an artists talk Sunday, Nov 28 at 3 pm.

Allegorical, Realism, Surrealism Still-Life Oil Paintings by Paula Peacock

Flight of the Passing Fancy by Paula Peacock 36" x 48" oil on canvas This painting took five years to complete. I, evidently, was spending a lot of time contemplating my choice in men while working on this one. No, I'm not 'man-bashing'. I'm just truth-speaking. This painting is a fairy tale about 'Three Little Pigs'.  Piggy One, also known as Passing Fancy One, built his home with straw. Hence the box of drinking straws. Needless to say, this pig had a drinking problem. Oops! You ignored those red flags, didn't you, Paula. Piggy had the annoying habit of always wearing sunglasses indoors, on cloudy days, and even dark evenings. Always! Straws did not make a firm foundation for a home. Passing Fancy Two built his home with sticks. That's him sitting on top of the vintage game of 'Pick Up Stix'. Piggy, Two, was a very lazy and immature piggy. He came from a wealthy family and rarely worked. Mama sow had refused to allow any more suckling...

'Looking for Happy' Contemporary Still Life by Paula Peacock

'Looking for Happy' by Paula Peacock 24" x 30" Oil on Canvas In 2014, my little sister lost her battle to breast cancer at the age of 51. Five months later I received a call from the Denver Coroner telling me my son had been murdered. Two days after that horrific phone call came yet another; local police informed me my art studio had been broken into and vandalized. Five of my paintings had been damaged or destroyed. Needless to say, major depression took over my life and I embarked upon a 5-year journey of creating dark paintings and sculptures as my way of expressing my grief. This is one of those paintings- The Buddhas depicted are known as the Happy Buddha. In this painting, they remain somewhat hidden, in the shadows or behind objects. This is representative of a search for happiness but not quite finding it. One feels it’s just around the corner but never fully in view. The string is our connection to the different aspects of our lives that define our...
