The painting reveal the tension between creation and destruction, portraying the fragile balance we navigate as we build and consume. Through abstract forms and expressive techniques, this work conveys a sense of disintegration and fragmentation, echoing the environmental degradation accompanying urban expansion. The vibrant hues may be tinged with hints of decay, the energetic lines disrupted by chaotic elements, symbolizing the toll our relentless pursuit of growth takes on the planet. In our quest for advancement, we inadvertently contribute to our undoing, eroding the very foundations on which we stand.
Artist Bio: Simon’s work has evolved from the street onto the canvas with a gestural and abstract aesthetic, exploring the city's essence and its impact on society. His work is inspired by all the little details and layers our day-to-day environment offers, which are often overlooked as mistakes. This for him is the essence of emotion and energy. These ephemeral unintentional marks of life are captured and translated into paintings, collages and assemblage. Simon’s work has been presented at several solo and group shows, publications, and street art festivals worldwide. He exhibited his first solo show in Melbourne in 2015. He has dedicated most of his time to studio work, honing his aesthetic and exploring the conceptual basis of his practice.
