Surreal Abstraction, No. 10 Drawing

Automatic composition in response to the surrealistic atmosphere of Rome. The pandemic’s unreal reality and the environmental shift of lockdown conjured a surrealistic atmosphere for Peck, which provoked him to turn to automatic compositions and adopt the language of The Surreal. He has since maintained a near-daily practice of producing these pastels— each is a product of unpremeditated action; you can find video documentation of his process on his instagram: . Part of the Artist's proceeds will be donated to the THANC Foundation—a remarkable non-profit organization that pioneers research and education in the early detection and treatment of Thyroid, Head, and Neck Cancer. George greatly admires Dr. Mark L. Urken, MD, FACS, the founder of THANC, for his expertise in helping many patients. Artwork is currently framed for the upcoming exhibition When in Roma... in a 23'' x 20'' frame, though, will be sent unframed for ease of shipment, unless otherwise specified by the buyer.
