Nevada

Inspired by the experience of the artist flying low over the Nevada desert some years ago. This is not a landscape but reflects the haunting vastness around us and our human smallness in that place.

About Simon Grant

Simon is a Sydney based artist who has a love of the Australian landscape, the sea and sailing, and abstract expression. What started many years ago as doodling with his children’s crayons has turned into an obsessive pursuit.

Simon’s love of painting was initially inspired by the Australian greats; notably Roberts, Streeton, and Fred Williams. 

More recently has been a drive to explore abstract painting; inspiration and influence coming particularly from the abstract expressionists.

Simon is a great admirer of the Korean Dansaekwha movement and is drawn to the Korean aesthetic.

Simon also paints sailing seascapes; a theme borne from a youth spent by the sea.
