About the artists
Born in Dukinfield (near Manchester) in 1956, Simeon moved to Cornwall in 1996. At the of age of 14 he met L.S Lowry who encouraged him to paint. Lowry later became a family friend and remains a constant source of inspiration to him. Simeon's work is light-hearted, there are no dark overcast days, political content or deep soul-searching angst.
Simeon's world of pictorial imagery is a world of humour and fun, an essence of spontaneity that is joyfully translated to the viewer. Simeon Stafford is an observer of life, his paintings are crammed full of incidents and accidents, bustling scenes of human interaction, a happy dialogue of work and play. Subjects include docks and their workers, holiday seaside scenes and streets crammed with children playing.
Angela A'Court was in born in London, 1961. After graduating from Goldsmiths' College of Art, A'Court worked as an interior designer for an architectural firm before pursuing her career independently. After fifteen years as a designer, A'Court returned to painting full time. Two years later she moved to New York where she continues to live and work today.
A'Court takes inspiration from the everyday, whether it's a windowsill she walks by or a friends kitchen table her compositions are not staged but observations she reflects upon, drawing up her own narrative from the often overlooked. Working primarily in pastel, her work is an explorative process which aims to challenge the preconceived notions of pastel through innovation in order to define the material as a modern medium for today.
