Simon Findlay, lives and works as an artist in Berlin, Germany. Artistically he focuses on his personal relationship with color through exhaustive durational visual expression.
His process-based painting and performance incorporates cycling over large canvases, moving heavy rocks, collaborating with live musicians and dice as a mechanism of chance. Throughout his work there are recurring themes of: color theory, plants, gestural movement and playfulness.
Outside of art, Findlay has performed music as a drummer, synthesizer player and vocalist with; JEES!, Cloud Kinski, Kakariko, Daft Folk and 8 Bit Love. He is a part of multiple art groups in Berlin where he builds installations for immersive experiences, festivals and club events; 90mil, PHANTAZONiA, Pinky Promise, The Palace Collective and Greenhouse Berlin. Additionally, he mentors other artists, particularly in the field of process-based creativity.
Born in Australia, he studied a Bachelor of Science at The University Of Melbourne and a Graduate Diploma in Psychology at Deakin University.
