Exhibitors 2025

Simon Griffiths is a self-taught artist influenced by surrealism, lowbrow, fantasy, street and pop art, tattoos, comic books and death.  He painted sporadically when he was younger. In 2008 he experienced life changing trauma, and as a consequence of this encountered the visionary artist and tattooist S V Mitchell.  These two events were pivotal in the development of his art. He then became inspired to paint in earnest and since then has painted continually, as a matter of necessity and compulsion. His art is colourful with large amounts of humour, satire and irony.  Simon paints in oil.
