Simmon Faithfull



Simmon Faithfull is an English artist based in Berlin and London. Simmon's drawings often involve elements of failure and anti-heroism.His works revolve around research and experiments, and during the course of the past few years he has become known for his Lecture Performances that will often accompany his exhibitions. He's well known as a palm pilot artist. His drawings look very unique because it doesn't look like real paintings, but digital drawings to me. It seems like using a palm pilot forces to have the same rigor when one's attempting to express a very subjective experience of a point in time. His drawings are quite simple enough to understand...nothing abstract...the lines of his drawings are not really straight or distinct. My favorite drawing of his is the second one with the black background and with white drawing lines.. it is amazing that I can really picture the place in my head by looking at his drawing.
