Artist Talk 2.30pm

Our next artist is Simon Carter, who studied at Colchester Institute and then North East London Polytechnic. Often described as a 'painter's painter', his painting lies between figuration and abstraction, illustrating both landscape and the subjectivity of looking, to reflect a perceptual and psychological experience of the world. Simon is President of Colchester Art Society and has been Artist-in-residence at the University of Essex and Firstsite. Simon Carter will be showing a painting called Turning Back, and will be joining us for a conversation about the work on Wednesday, 18th March 2.30pm.
