Simon Page makes drawings and paintings exploring themes of place, identity and landscape. Recent work has emerged from coming to terms with living in a post-pandemic, climate crisis era and the existential challenge that this new context presents. 

He has been shortlisted for the 2024 Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize

His work has recently been on show at Snape Maltings, Suffolk as part of Britten Pears Arts Summer Contemporary, at The Turnpike Gallery, Wigan (until September 14th), as part of the 2023 Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize touring exhibition, at Wells Cathedral as part of Wells Art Contemporary 2024, at The Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh in their annual exhibition, and at Encounters Art Space as part of this years's Brighton Festival.

In 2022 his work was exhibited at The Norwegian Church, Cardiff and at The National Maritime Museum Swansea as part of the exhibition celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Wales Coast Path, a collaboration between 10 artists and 10 poets.

He was longlisted for the 2024 Jackson Art Prize and shortlisted for the 2023 Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize.

His work is held in many private and corporate collections.

He studied at Colchester Institute and Homerton College, Cambridge, graduating in 1985. After a year long art residency in a school in Devon, he decided to take a career break to teach for 30 years, returning to life as a full-time artist in 2019. He lives and works in London and Suffolk, and is roaming far and wide.
