- Artist statement -
Simon Wright was born in 1972. He gained a BA Hons in Fine Art (1991 - 1995) at
University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and a PGCE (1999) at the Institute of
Education, University of London.
Simon’s paintings depict hand-made objects, props or models that are typically set
within a shallow space like a display case. A wooden boat, a toy car made from
card or a paper plane – there is usually something simplistic or naïve about the form and these objects are often painted into their backgrounds.
They are personal interpretations of everyday things, relating to both art and
life. He makes forms that he wants to paint. The process of making the painting
then alternates between observation and intuition.
Simon studied Fine Art at Newcastle University (1991-1995) and now lives and
works in Norfolk. His paintings have featured in a range of group exhibitions
across the UK, including the Mostyn Open (2011), the Threadneedle Prize (2011,
2012), the Lynn Painter Stainers Prize (2013,2017), The Discerning Eye and the
Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
