Simon Scheuerle
2602 Canberra
Australien (Australia)
Kunstart: Skulptur
Technik: Materialmix
Statement:
Simon is an artist. He creates objects, installations, photographs, drawings, paintings and videos. Simon uses a wide variety of everyday materials and various sculptural techniques to produce his objects and installations. He takes photographs on the street of random detritus, and in his studio of toys and props. He draws pictures in pencil and ink and paints with acrylics. He films everything.
Practicing a form of aesthetic strong-arming, Simon engages the viewer through spectacle and intense materiality. His art is hilarious, disastrous and indulgent
Simon lives in Canberra with his partner Jane, and two dogs.
