ABOUT
20-year-old London-based artist/designer, Freddie Peacock, is community-led new media agency ‘ForeverGood's’ latest prodigy, honouring his skills as a contemporary artist and designer. Originally heavily focused on portraiture, Peacock expanded his horizons to both landscapes and timeless statement pieces, with the aim of showing his audience that he is talented in more than one field. A so far remarkable career has been recognised by numerous media outlets on a worldwide scale. Notably, by Instagram, when he was selected as one of their top “21 under 21 creators” on their platform in 2021. Amongst all the art-focused projects Peacock has planned for 2023, he is also currently pursuing a degree in jewellery design at Central Saint Martins.
In 2022, Peacock partnered with the London-based non-profit organisation ‘4BYSIX’ to create the painting “Who is Virgil?” which was displayed in a group exhibition on Bond Street. The piece payed tribute to, and dissected the extraordinary life and career of the late design icon, Virgil Abloh, and performed above expectations, outbidding some of the most renowned artists in the scene. During this exhibition, Peacock also created 10 limited edition ‘work tracksuits’ that were worn during different stages of the painting process thus containing the colours and essence of the painting. The tracksuits were then sold via his website and profits were donated to Virgil Abloh’s post-modern scholarship fund. The extent of Peacocks endeavours during this project resulted in him being asked to speak on BBC News London about his experience.
Peacock has collaborated with multiple renowned artists, celebrities, and brands on an international scale both in London and abroad, including the likes of JME, Central Cee, Yxng Bane and Unknown T. His outstanding work has been recognised by multiple press outlets such as Culted (USA/UK), GUAP Mag and many more. He was also recently flown out to Naples after being asked to design a t-shirt for the 10 year anniversary of Italian magazine, ‘NSS’.
