Simon Periton

Simon Periton, born in 1964, is a British artist who resides and works in London. He engages in painting, sculpture, and installation art. Periton's artistic style is often characterized by its elaborate and sensuous nature, drawing inspiration from various sources such as fin de siècle aestheticism, punk aesthetics, cinema, and the occult. He has developed a distinct visual language throughout his career, which is marked by personal mythology and executed with precise attention to detail.

Periton's work includes publicly commissioned artworks and sculptures, such as those found at Farringdon Station for the Crossrail Commission, the New Art Centre in Roche Court, ROQ Oxford, and the Brentford Connection, all located in London. These outdoor pieces reflect their specific settings while also showcasing the artist's continued exploration of naturally occurring forms and material experimentation, building on the aesthetics of his earlier works. Periton received his training at St Martins School of Art in London.
