Simon Paredes
Simon Paredes uses coloured pencils to craft striking, simplified forms on paper. His work is characterised by a keen focus on domestic objects and nostalgic elements of retro pop culture, blending everyday familiarity with a bold artistic vision.
Simon is represented by Arts Project Australia, a gallery and studio that supports neurodivergent artists and artists living with intellectual disabilities. He joined APA in 2014 and has exhibited in numerous group exhibitions, including Wangaratta Art Gallery and Arts Centre Melbourne, and his work is held in private collections across Australia.
The Artworks - French Butter & Moka Pot
Across two artworks, Simon Paredes turns his eye to the iconic: a slab of artisanal French butter, wrapped in its packaging; and the sculptural form of the iconic Italian Moka Pot both rendered in his signature graphic style.
