Soup at Moma (2022) Drawing by Simpson

Born in 1985, Simpson is a drawing artist living and working in Portugal. Primarily using pencil on paper, he adopts a surrealist style to express his unique views of the world.

His work is a continuous exploration of the world at a walking pace, a collection of observations and extrapolations derived from his wanderings on foot. Simpson begins his works with an investigation of more traditional drawing and painting techniques, which are then gradually buried under marks, additional elements and methods that induce visual vibrations. This process creates a kind of archeology for the viewer, who must deconstruct the works to better understand how the environment and the place where we live influence our experiences.

Simpson views his thoughts as potential paintings, where found images and his imagination, over time, lead to complex, layered works. These creations, both observed and imagined, are imbued with surrealism and mystery, offering a glimpse of the other. His works are both strange and fascinating, revealing worlds where reality and imagination meet, inviting the viewer to deep reflection on the perception and interpretation of our daily environment.
