Simon Shorrock works from his studio in Adelaide, Australia. When Simon was living in the UK he exhibited his early work alongside Angela Wakefield in a number of exhibitions in the North of England. Currently he is now working on a series of paintings based on the Australian bushranger Ned Kelly, as well as other work with a strong social/philosphical narrative. His imaginative colourful original paintings have an unrivalled intensity and his highly developed techniques with oil paint are truly exquisite.

Simon has been inspired by the places he has lived and visited - including Hong Kong, Australia, the UK, India and Mexico. His eagerly anticipated new work is due to be featured at the Ribchester gallery during 2011.
