Concetta Antico
Peacock
LOT 4
“Plump, pretty and patterned this
peacock image was inspired by the
magnificent figurative works of Norman
Lindsay. Peacocks are my signature
theme. I am moved by them as they
represent heaven and as a tetrachromat
I am able to portray their vivid colours.
The peacock form seemed to easily
embody and, with its long decorative
tail, wrap elegantly about the shape of
this vessel."
