SIMON BULL (1958- ) A childhood spent in cultural centres of Europe, the jungles of South America and the mountains of Southern China, combined to shape the creative vision of British-born Simon Bull who has since become one of the world's most compelling living artists. Today, his work is collected by royalty, presidents, celebrities and museums as well as a growing number of private collectors who find their lives enriched by the color and emotion of his work.
Simon's flair for art was first noticed when he won his first art competition at the age of six. Other childhood art prizes followed, including several in his teen years and a national art students' painting prize while at college. During his teens, the family moved to Hong Kong. It was here that he first encountered the art of the East where the beauty of Chinese brushwork with its economy of line and energy of composition was to have a lasting influence. It was here that he held his first one-man exhibition at eighteen.
While still at art school he married Joanna, his childhood sweetheart. During the late seventies and early eighties, the skills in printmaking that he acquired at art school and which had especially fascinated him began to pay dividends. He sold his first three editions to Pallas Gallery in London and then entered a relationship with London Contemporary Art.
Though he had gained early recognition for finely worked etchings and watercolours, his work took an explosive new direction in the early 1990's with vibrant colours and bold, expressive compositions. It was this ability to work with colour that brought widespread international acclaim and produced the signature look that was to make his work instantly recognizable.
enty-six of his paintings were exhibited together, that the effect of this new work came home to him. This success has led to many accolades. He was the first to win the Fine Art Trade Guild Artist Print Award in 2000 (as the top-selling print artist in England), and in 2002 he was named the official artist for the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.
In 2003 and 2004 he became the first British artist to win the prestigious U.S. National Association of Limited Edition Dealers Print of the Year award, first for The Journey Never Ends, and the following year for Bird Of Paradise.
