Simeon Stafford Featured Artist Exhibition at Whitewater Contemporary

Whitewater Contemporary presents a late winter exhibition by British painter Simeon Stafford. This new collection celebrates the joy of all things ‘snow’, from the thrill of winter flurries in English towns and villages to the the lively Alpine slopes, in paintings filled with his famous cast of characters. Wrapped up warm in their winter brights, kids sled, squeal and snowball fight, embracing the childhood wonder of those longed-for snow days, while in the mountains, crowds of skiers curve and carve their way to the next sunny lunch spot. Look carefully and you might see Ruby the girl with pigtails in bright red boots, and Trixie the Jack Russel in a snowy landscape where play is the order of the day.

Simeon was born in Manchester in 1956, and as a child was introduced to noted painter L.S. Lowry, who became a family friend and encouraged him to follow a career in fine art. Simeon began his career exhibiting works that reflected the gritty northern landscape in the Primitive style. He relocated to Cornwall in 1996 and has since established himself as one of the UKs most recognised painters. He has exhibited at the Royal Academy, and his work is held in numerous public and private collections, including that of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
