Simon Lawson: Amelioration II

About the artist:

Simon Lawson is a painter printmaker responding to the ever-changing urban landscape and a collaborative Master Printer. His work covers many subjects, using a vast array of intaglio techniques from direct drypoint observational drawings to sophisticated multiplate colour separated etchings using photographic processes. Often process led, but always observational, my work has intrinsically been rooted in our relationship with the immediate environment, both urban and rural.

The Amelioration Series take physical subjects as their basis, to represent the human presence and its legacy. These prints focus on the impact of people, in their quest to make an improved society and the conflict between urban development and its ever-increasing effect on the environment.

Lawson’s prints and paintings have been exhibited widely and are held in national and international collections.
