After graduating in 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Degree in Fine Art, Simon Taylor has exhibited in many group and solo exhibitions throughout Europe.

Using various mediums, including photography and painting, the work is part of a continuing project started in 1993 based around ideas of perception; with genuine responses to modern life including subjects such as televisualisation, film theory, popular and mass culture and identity.

Winning the Sefton Open Art Prize in 2006 his work has been purchased by many private collectors, public collectors and galleries.  Original paintings and images have been used for television productions and a variety of publications worldwide.

His painting process is complex. Working from photographs taken from life and film stills, he digitally manipulates the images and reproduces them using acrylic and oil paint on canvas.
