This painting offers a profound exploration of both external and internal Cornish landscapes. Spanning a panoramic view across the terrain of Cornwall, this work began as a simple sketch but as it evolved it started to reference the county’s mining heritage. As you journey across the three paintings, you traverse from the remnants of mining ruins towards a representation of the coast.
Acrylic and charcoal on board by Simon Lewis Birch. Framed in three white wooden tray frames.
Each painting measures: 84 x 59cm
Each frame measures: 87 x 62cm

About this Artist
About this Artist
Simon is based in Cornwall, and for over thirty years his practice has moved between dance and visual art. His background in choreography continues to shape how he paints: each work is approached as a form of choreography, a dynamic relationship between space, time and energy. He is currently exhibiting with us in the new show 'Evoke.'
Trained initially in visual art and later in contemporary dance, he has always worked across disciplines, creating and presenting work in galleries, theatres and outdoor environments. Simon sees his artwork as part of a continuous exchange between the visual and the kinetic.
This exhibition brings together paintings from several collections, created over time and in dialogue with one another. Land and seascapes are central to his work. These recurring themes, and in some pieces birds, reflect both a deep love of the natural world and an ongoing concern for its fragility. Movement, mindfulness and close attention to nature underpin his practice, and through his work Simon invites a deeper awareness of place and a renewed sense of connection, respect and care for the world we inhabit.
