The Discerner Simon Kirk Artist Simon Kirk’s works are a synergy of poetry and painting, text and image, abstraction and figuration, combining influences from both the literary and the art world alike. Influenced by haiku, humanist concerns and the philosophical ideas of ‘the Absurd’, Kirk’s pieces have become increasingly sought after by art collectors since the beginning of his career in 2007 (notably in America, Australia, Dubai and Continental Europe). He exhibited and sold at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2015, 2013 and 2010. He is a resident artist with the Turner | Barnes | Gallery and is regularly exhibited as part of their collections for the Hong Kong, Singapore, New York and London Affordable Art Fairs. To date, he has had solo exhibitions in France, Denmark and the USA. Simon Kirk is exhibiting with Art Below in Regent’s Park for the third year, following a successful inaugural Los Angeles exhibition earlier in 2017. Art Below are proud to be support Simon Kirk as one of four of their most talented artists at The Other Art Fair this October. 9 E: [email protected] W: simonkirkartist.gallery For all enquiries, please contact Simon or Celine at [email protected] or 020 7491 9925 www.thediscer ne r . c om
