ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The composition is of a precipice looking up towards open sky. I wanted to convey the texture of the rock by applying thick layers of paint and spreading it across the canvas. When I had completed the painting the words of Oscar Wilde came to me; "We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars".

Simon Boyd, born in London 1978, studied Fine Art at Middlesex, 1997-2001. He has lived in Argentina since 2007. Simon has held solo shows in both Argentina and the UK; ‘The Jousters Banquet’ at the British Arts Centre, Buenos Aires, in 2009 and ‘Also Light…’ at Anteros Arts Foundation, Norwich, 2023 to name a few. He has also participated in the International Contemporary Art Biennial, Buenos Aires, in 2016. A key inspiration for the colour and depth of his work is the South American landscape of La Pampa. Simon's use of palette echoes the sense of vitality and purity the landscape there evokes.
