Eddie Peake

Edward Caspar Erasmus Peake (born 1981) is a British artist. His work includes performance, video, photography, painting, sculpture and installation. His art focuses on "implicit drama within relationships between people", and "how things like desire, sexuality and depression impact on them".

Peake took residency at the British School at Rome from 2008 to 2009, and graduated from the Royal Academy Schools in 2013.

Publications Peake designed the cover for A Short Affair, and a unique artwork inside the book created in response to Will Self’s new short story Civilisation.
