Simon Laurie
Simon Laurie's personal iconography has evolved out of the landscapes
and everyday objects of his native rural Scotland: lanes and footpaths,
the peaked roofs of oast-houses, hay-ricks and agricultural implements.
Blocked out in bright acrylics the flatness of their shapes
reminiscent of collage these basic forms, apparently simple
yet charged with meaning, achieve balance within rhythmic, deeply
satisfying compositions. Pattern-making a fundamental artistic
impulse transcends anecdote, ensuring that these works have
a relevance much wider than the specific events that inspired them.
Simon is a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art. He has had several
one-man shows in London and in Scotland and his work is held by well-known
collections including the Contemporary Arts Society, London and the
Aberdeen Art Gallery. He was awarded a member of the Royal Glasgow
Institute in November 2000.
