          | Simon Laurie 
 Simon Laurie's personal iconography has evolved out of the landscapes 
            and everyday objects of his native rural Scotland: lanes and footpaths, 
            the peaked roofs of oast-houses, hay-ricks and agricultural implements. 
            Blocked out in bright acrylics  the flatness of their shapes 
            reminiscent of collage  these basic forms, apparently simple 
            yet charged with meaning, achieve balance within rhythmic, deeply 
            satisfying compositions. Pattern-making  a fundamental artistic 
            impulse  transcends anecdote, ensuring that these works have 
            a relevance much wider than the specific events that inspired them.
 
 Simon is a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art. He has had several 
            one-man shows in London and in Scotland and his work is held by well-known 
            collections including the Contemporary Arts Society, London and the 
            Aberdeen Art Gallery. He was awarded a member of the Royal Glasgow 
            Institute in November 2000.
