Fine Art Collector | Autumn 2019

Stephen Simpson Our collectors are blown away by Stephen Simpson’s organic floral paintings, which boast a high-gloss resin finish and a lively colour palette to complement any living space. Blurring the line between 2D and 3D, the textured artworks are created using a blowtorch (we don’t recommend trying this at home!). The painter has experimented with using real flowers for reference, but instead prefers to rely

on his imagination. He adds: “I quickly found that I preferred to use my artistic licence to come up with shapes or colours that were inspired by flowers that I’d previously seen, rather than flowers in front of me. This way, I was able to be a lot ‘looser’ with the paint, which is more in keeping with my style.”
