Simon Gazzard
Simon Gazzard is an expressive landscape painter who, in what seems like a magic swish of a brush, is able to capture the whole essence of the heaths, parks and woods near to his North London home.
We, the viewer, become absorbed; we are standing in the landscape with Gazzard, as he points out the things he notices; the seasonal colours and the light, the weather and the distant landmarks as they fade towards the horizon.
In 2021, Gazzard decided to step away from his successful, twenty year career working as an architect, and follow his life long dream to work as a painter. Since then, he has been working full time on his practice, painting every day, driven to produce the large number of works required for his first solo shows: Burgh House, Hampstead in March ’24, and Lauderdale House, Highgate in May ’24.
