Simon Laurie is a contemporary Scottish artist born in Glasgow in 1964. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art between 1982 and 1988, where he developed the foundations of his artistic practice. Laurie is best known for his colourful landscape and still-life paintings, which often feature Scottish landscapes, fish, boats, religious symbols and everyday objects.
He mainly works with acrylic paint, building up many layers to create rich, textured surfaces. His distinctive style combines bold colour, simplified shapes and carefully balanced compositions, with influences from the Scottish Colourists and the St Ives School. Laurie became a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours in 1991 and the Royal Glasgow Institute in 2000.
His work has been exhibited widely and is held in collections including Aberdeen Art Gallery and the Contemporary Art Society in London.
Laurie has also had an important role within Scotland's art community. He was elected to the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours (RSW) in 1991 and became a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute (RGI) in 2000. He later served as the RGI's Convener from 2005 to 2011. Throughout his career he has held solo exhibitions in Britain and internationally and has received several awards for his work.
Painting is an art form that has spanned innumerable cultures, with artists using the medium to tell stories, explore and communicate ideas and express themselves. To bring abstract paintings, landscape paintings, still-life paintings and other original paintings into your home is to celebrate and share in the long tradition of this discipline.
When we look at paintings, particularly those that originated in the past, we learn about history, other cultures and countries of the world. Like every other work of art, paintings — whether they are contemporary creations or works that were made during the 19th century — can often help us clearly see and understand the world around us in a meaningful and interesting way.
Cave walls were the canvases for what were arguably the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict natural scenery through art. Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs.
Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.
No matter your preference, whether you favor Post-Impressionist paintings, animal paintings, Surrealism, Pop art or another movement or specific period, arranging art on a blank wall allows you to evoke emotions in a room while also showing off your tastes and interests. A symmetrical wall arrangement may comprise a grid of four to six pieces or, for an odd number of works, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements, which may be small clusters of art or large, salon-style gallery walls, have a more collected and eclectic feel.
