Biography
"Although the challenging practice of abstract painting has been with us for the best part of 100 years now, new work of great individuality and significance is still being produced, and Simon M Smith is, in my view, one of the very best practitioners of his generation. His work is invariably small in scale, using torn paper, drawing materials and soft colour washes to create gentle meditative texts. They are calming, possessing what some might call a ‘oneness’ or an ‘isness’, for they sit quietly and comfortably in their space and offer themselves up as objects of contemplation, leaving us to make our response and decide upon their meaning”
John Gilboy, Orange Street Gallery
