Simon Welsh
Born in Sydney, Simon Welsh is a collage artist, graphic designer and librarian. Welsh explores the unlimited potential of the figurative genre, exploring shape, movement, gender and sexuality. Influenced by the Masters, sculpture and the Renaissance, he reinterprets traditional mediums through a modern queer lens.
Welsh’s work is often exploratory and created from a wide range of materials, much of his work is by chance and play and allows the pieces to direct a new narrative.
Simon’s work has been shown domestically and internationally, at the Kaos Int Festival of Collage, a finalist at Midsummer, Fisher’s Ghost, The Lake Mac, Gosford, Blacktown, BAS, and the Nillumbik.
He has been teaching collage for 5 years now.
