FLEUR SIMON
London based Fleur Simon is an abstract painter, working primarily in epoxy resin on plywood. She creates abstract paintings that mix natural imagery with my emotional states, visualising these internal landscapes. Fleur graduated from City & Guilds of London Art School with first class honours, after her foundation at Central Saint Martins and scholarship semester at Paris College of Art.
​
Fleur was shortlisted for the Clyde & Co. Blank Canvas Award (2018), won the Wildcard Prize on SkyArts’s Landscape Art of the Year Award (2018), and was shortlisted for the BP Portrait Award 2019.

Fleur is currently doing her MFA degree at The Ruskin School of Art in Oxford.
