Pacific No. 5 is one of a series of paintings reflecting the artist's youth growing up in the Pacific. The vastness of the Pacific Ocean is relieved only by far horizons; shallows and fragile landforms are sporadic and vulnerable. The dark lines and needle-like forms represent human presence with histories and culture.

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.
