Simon Liddiment Pictorial contrasts 6th February- 3rd April.

In Gallery one is the first of the two consecutive solo exhibitions that demonstrate some very different approaches to the conventions of the landscape, created by Simon Liddiment.

Simon Liddiment was born in Gt Yarmouth 1964, and he later went on to study at the Gt Yarmouth School of art and design in 1980. He soon went on to bigger things at the Goldsmith’s college in London in 1982-1985. He now continues to work and live in London.

Liddiment’s strong ideas and well-driven work starts from both the hands-on approach towards his materials. The art pieces are all based upon ‘raw’ materials. This new collection of artwork (Pictorial Constructs) shows his work with the physical and spatial exploration of a single plane. The base of each piece is a single plywood sheet; to show Liddiments method as on of the subtraction. He works carefully with the plywood sheets and shows a repetition pattern, by the gradual woodcutting. Which is sawn incrementally in ever decreasing widths to reach a destination of a ‘horizontal line.’ Creating a visual illusion of a landscape.

His art shows originality and a creative concept to his imagination, as each piece differs in it’s own way. For instance- Some are a lot more modernised, giving a slightly paler subtler ‘edgy’ look, which symbolises the 21st century. Yet he has some other more ‘classical’ pictures which present a more traditional ‘landscape.’ In which the contrast in subtle colours create the perfect illusion for a landscape. Each and every composition is uniquely rendered, to show Liddiment’s high quality of his artwork.
