Simon Taylor graduated in 1994 from Manchester University and since then has exhibited nationally and internationally.

He has completed a number of solo exhibitions in public galleries including the City Art Gallery, Manchester, the Atkinson Gallery, Southport and the Huddersfield Art Gallery. He has also exhibited in group exhibitions in Manchester, London, Dublin, Milan, Brussels and Utrecht.

His works have been used for television productions and a variety of publications worldwide. His paintings are collected
internationally and he has works in public collections after winning the prestigious Sefton Open art prize in 2006.

His painting process is complex: working from photographs taken from magazines, life and film stills. Each image is
dis-assembled and de-constructed from the original source and context then re-assembled. The images are re-edited to create new narratives, which exist only on the painted surface of his works. Characters are given the freedom to interact with themselves and/or different backdrops, manipulating the time and space that they originally inhabited.

The finished works are painted using acrylic paint onto various surfaces including canvas, wood panels and aluminum.
