The Rocaille Suite represents an important stage in the development of Peacock's work as these were the first works in which he began to undulate the surface of the painting in order to resolve and interpret the conclusion of the work.

His work from 1982 to 1987 was painted and stretched on flat surfaces cropped (the process of selecting compositions from long lengths of painted canvas) to produce hard edge angular canvases with the same crazed formations. The Rocaille Suite is a turning point in this artists development. Work from this series is represented in numerous private and public collections and selected works are available for sale.

Each work on paper is made by pouring and forming custom mediums of acrylic paint on a rag paper support dried to produce fissures ( crazing ) in the paint. The process produces formations revealing layers of colour through colour. The layers of clour are physically manipulated - paint is stirred, allowed to run and the drying skins pushed and cut throughout the drying process. The dried work is physically undulated to further interpret and resolve the painted image.
