Simon Birch

These fantastic sketches are by Brighton born artist Simon Birch. 
He is most famous for his oil paintings which are often inspired by the smallest details whether it be colours, textures, sounds or a face. 





With the absence of colour in these sketches, it gives room for a simpler perception of light and linear. The shadows play across his subjects features in an expression of movement that is truly wonderful! His lines cross without intruding on each other like stills of a stop motion picture. The intense passion for his work really shows through, he has been known to compulsively create for days at a time, often with little rest inbetween - dedication!
