Sutcliffe Contemporary Art

Born in London in 1947. Neil Simone studied Graphic Design and Display. It was during a visit in 1969, while working on an exhibition for MOTEC (The Multi-Occupational Training and Educational Centred opened by HRH Princess Anne in 1969), that Neil became influenced by the austere and sometimes harsh yet beautiful countryside of North Yorkshire.

Compelled, Neil moved to Harrogate and for over three decades his skill and dedication has led to the development of an innovative concept and style. As distinctive as it is unique his work has a visually compelling quality that arrests the attention and goes on to enlighten the imagination.

For those who admire good art it is impossible to ignore the potency of his imagery, with such infinite detail, beautiful symmetry and balance, each picture has a fascinating ambiguity that invites interpretation.

The standard that he has achieved as a painter has attracted a massive following of people from every walk of life and from many different countries. He has featured on television and in numerous journalistic reviews. His work has been exhibited in leading galleries throughout Britain, Europe, and the USA, and can be found in private collections worldwide.
