SIMEON STAFFORD
FEATURED ARTIST
29th April to 24th May 2023
Over his 40 year career, Simeon Stafford has established himself as one of the UKs most recognised artists, known for his high-energy paintings of unique places and their bustling communities. As a child was introduced to celebrated painter L.S. Lowry who encouraged him to study art. Lowry’s influence is evident in Stafford’s simple figures, densely populated scenes, and uplifting palette of rainbow colours. This new collection is largely inspired by the beaches and harbours of the North Cornwall coast, including a show defining large-scale work depicting a fictional funfair on Polzeath beach.

Simeon was born in Manchester in 1956. He went on to study at Hyde College and in 1974 became a professional artist, exhibiting works that reflected the gritty northern landscape in what has been called a Primitive style. In 1996 he moved to Cornwall where he met artists Terry Frost and Patrick Heron, and began making work in response to the very different landscape and communities of the rural South West. He has exhibited at the Royal Academy, and his work is held in numerous public and private collections, including that of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
