Simon Thompson
Simon Thompson has been producing works in 2007. Concentrating on mixed media and Screen printing his early works were inspired by apparently off the cuff remarks that held an immediate and deeper resonance for him. The first set of prints he made was titled "Too Much Art will Kill you" in 2007 and playfully recreated the statement in the eBay typography at the time.

Continuing these themes Simon's first Solo show at the Amuti Gallery was Titled "Warhol is Over" and was supported with a Billboard and fly poster campaign across London using this iconoclastic image.

Simon's works have continued to retain the immediacy of the soundbite but have begun to incorporate and integrate portraiture to create something immediate and instinctive and resonant. Simon's work explores what he sees as "the dystopian truth that always lingers in the corner of all our peripheral vision".

Simon was born in 1974 and currently lives and works in London.
