Simon has returned to his foundational roots in painting, after working with silkscreen. These four stunning originals mark his re-engagement with a methodical and meticulous approach to art.
Simon, renowned for his unique perspective, has always chosen to depict subjects he considers icons. In the ICONS collection, Simon adorns these figures with halos. The use of halos, combined with highly reflective paints, references the halos of light synonymous throughout art history to denote gods and goddesses among men. His style, deeply rooted in the graphic pop art movement, is particularly influenced by print techniques, notably the use of Benday dots. These dots are meticulously applied by hand, showcasing both his dedication to craft and his reverence for traditional artistic methods. Through this blend of modern and classic techniques, Simon continues to captivate and inspire audiences with his distinctive artistic vision.
