[ganymedesrocks]

Born from the 1967 Netherlands cradle of artists, felt those emotions that often lead to a call as early as the age of 5.  He turned to art in order to foster his own safe haven.  Simon knew rapidly that each emotion is a fusion of realism and abstraction, from which that instant becomes portrayed by it through the hands of the artist that vehicles them.  Simon paints without the use of any brushes. In fact, he is using old twisted credit cards as a kind of vehicle to lay down the vision; the sketch if you will.  Particularly because he paints from a felt emotion, the process is very fast, revealing the characters shortly thereafter, which he then accents while the paint is still wet; deciding what can stay and what is superfluous to “the message” he pursues.  Some may look at his work and feel it very “Bacon”, very  “Velázquez” and therefore very influenced.  Now, the lest we forget, most great Masters, never shied away from copying ‘miles’ of existing works prior to let their voice render there more personal message.  What counts is the force within how these influences are rendered.  The result is striking; the artist worth watching.
