About Linda Simon

 
 
  • Biography
    Based in Kent, UK my art practice spans 2D, 3D, textiles and installation. I like making "stuff out of stuff" and appropriate everyday materials, tapping into their individual properties to create unique and often playful art. 

    My collages disrupt found images to create new and alternative narratives influenced by my interest in surrealism and sci-fi/dystopia. They are all one-of-a-kind, unique pieces combining images sourced from books and magazines.  

    I graduated from UCA, Canterbury in 2013 with a Fine Art degree and work from my studio in Kent, UK. I've exhibited throughout the UK and was one of seven artists to have their degree show work selected for the Platform Graduate Showcase Award exhibition at Turner Contemporary.  In 2019 I was awarded the prestigious London Group Open President's Prize.
