Simon Hadley Attard (b. 1983 Manchester; lives and works in Lancashire, UK) is a figurative painter, who’s works identify with the landscape and visual surroundings of the North of England. Subjects such as sight hounds and lurchers, the artist’s garden and portraits of friends and family all play major roles in the creation of paintings also influenced by the art history canon. House flies, pot plants and spiders suggest deeper connections of disequilibrium, as the artist explores themes that evoke climate change and the transience of time.
