Description:
Unframed Signed Limited Edition Print (500), entitled 'Nocturnal Enlightenment' by Neil Simone
Born in London in 1947. Neil Simone studied Graphic Design
and Display. It was during a visit in 1969, while working for
MOTEC (The Multi Occupational Training and Educational Centre
opened by HRH the Princess Anne in 1969), that Neil became
influenced by the austere and sometimes harsh yet beautiful
countryside of North Yorkshire.
Compelled Neil moved to Harrogate and for over three
decades his skill and dedication has led to the development of
an innovative concept and style. As distinctive as it is unique his
work has a visually compelling quality that arrests the attention
and goes on to enlighten the imagination.
For those who admire good art it is impossible to ignore the
potency of his imagery, with such infinite detail, beautiful
symmetry and balance, each picture has a fascinating ambiguity
that invites interpretation.
The standard that he has achieved as a painter has attracted
a massive following of people from every walk of life and from
many different countries. He has featured on television and in
numerous journalistic reviews. His work has been exhibited in
leading galleries throughout Britain, Europe, and the USA, and
can be found in private collections worldwide.
Neil now lives and has a studio in a converted village school
at Whixley, North Yorkshire, between Harrogate and York. His
work continues to evolve and expand.
