‘Palm Pigs’ is a brilliant original collage & painted piece of art by contemporary pop artist Simon Kirk.

In these works the text and image combine to create a self contained scenario with its own reality, and the viewer is invited to inhabit it. There is no undue wordiness; the inherent simplicity of the cut up leaves a lot of room for the viewer to find their own meaning. I’m a big fan of haiku, the finding of profound meaning in modest things and the gentle playfulness that helps us view everyday life with fresh eyes.
I like to use this device a lot. The cut ups often follow a path of taking the wonder of these small things and subverting them into something manic and fierce or poetic and evocative. The characters within the scenarios I create are challenged with weird and impossible predicaments, and the viewer is asked to join them in confronting the strangeness.” – Simon Kirk

King for a Day
‘King for a Day’ is one of a series of oil paintings that have derived from “Claude” sold on the opening night of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2015
This work started as a simple white line drawing on dark background. There’s something very appealing to me working in this ‘negative’ way. It was a delicate balancing act to flesh the piece out with paint whilst still keeping the simplicity and space.
Simon-kirk-claude-and-the-royal-academy-summer-exhibition
“I initially intended this piece to be a minimal painting of an artist in his studio. However, as I painted I was listening to a radio discussion on poverty. I began thinking of the different way poverty is perceived. The romantic notion of the penniless artist means it’s almost like proof of integrity, compared to the portrayal of the poor as feckless and lazy. I added a teacup to his table, rather than a glass of wine. It could still be an artist in his Parisienne garret, but it could also be a man in a room somewhere in England.”

Before Simon developed his current style he was predominantly a figurative painter, quite traditional in that sense. He still enjoys the relative calm of oil paintings, free from the labour intensive layering process of decollage and the juxtapositions images and text. Being a big film fan, and this oil sketch evolved into a simple portrait recalling the iconic colour saturated Hollywood films of the 50s and 60s.
