Peacock Exhibition by Walid El Masri

Now that cruelty surrounds me, that everything weighs with infinite heaviness, I find refuge with the peacock, this creature I have loved since a distant time. Through it, I wanted to distance myself from painful events and rest for a time. With lightness and fluidity, it found its place within the painting. I have often added a red dot to distract it from its surroundings. I have inundated it with black to bring out its unique character, its independence. As for the large circle that appears in many of my works, it is already present in previous projects, such as The Missing or The Tree. But here, it serves to fix the peacock before my eyes, lest it abruptly withdraw or vanish. I understand that its only possible defense is its beauty and its strange, painful song, like the call of a lonely man. I carry within myself a reverential fear before this sacred creature, present in the stories of the ancients and their legends. But whether it represents the Angel or the Demon par excellence, the peacock remains a peacock. – Walid El Masri
