Simon Rivett
Born in Northumberland and a graduate of Goldsmith's College, London, Simon has been painting for 26 years. He moved to the Outer Hebrides in 1993 where he is inspired by the dramatic landscape, seascape and weather in which he lives. Light and form, his continuing obsession, are the theme running through his work, demonstrating the ongoing struggle to record the subtlety of the instant. 'The result is a continual construction, destruction and reconstruction, wrestling with oil, pigment, watercolour, turpentine, wax, sand, to bring the experience of landscape to a surface'.
