Bio
Strongly atmospheric, Simon Edwards' current paintings are monochromatic interpretations of a familiar environment. As stated by the artist, "Without colour you get rid of a huge element of intuitive and emotional response. The viewer can focus on the actual landscape. The content carries more weight”.
Born Christchurch 1975, Edwards holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts, University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts (1997). Finalist in the 1997 Cranleigh Barton Drawing Award, Edwards has exhibited regularly since 1998. He is represented in numerous New Zealand collections including the Robert McDougall Art Gallery. Edwards lives and works in Christchurch.
