Born in Portsmouth, England in 1965. Simon has exhibited his paintings world wide. He is
also is a film director and sometime publisher.
"The most obvious thread running through Simon Henwood's wide range of creative
endeavours is his interest in childhood and adolescence. Over the last dozen years, as he
has moved among different mediums and shifting forms of diffusion, Henwood has remained
focused on youth, it's experiences and consequences. Take, for instance, his gouache
portraits, which have been shown at the ICA in London, Bronwyn Keenan Gallery in New York,
and Richard Heller Gallery in Santa Monica. These large, generally close-up views, which
look to have been partly painted with nail polish, show mostly girls and boys in early
adolescence."
Raphael Rubinstein 2001 (New York)
Simon is currently working on two new solo shows for the US. The first will open at Envoy
in NYC this december. Simon lives in London.
