Simon Poole’s artworks explore themes of landscape and the interplay of humanity and environment. Having travelled extensively around the  Australian continent and lived in far flung places to immerse himself within inspiring scenes, Simon endeavours to creatively play with aspects of the landscape that he experiences. Whether it be the lush greens of the rainforest in FNQ, Pindan country with ocean sunsets and stairways to the moon, or even the big skies, endless starry universes and thirsty arid zones in the goldfields, Simon’s art blends observed natural elements with form, colour and often with a dash of the larrikin, to provide the viewer with a greater depth of understanding to what he has seen and experienced.
