Simon poulter

Simon Poulter has an established national profile as both an artist and curator. His recent work has included a series of large-scale commissions working with Minity, as part of the University of East Anglia's Future and Form program. In 2019, he worked on a large-scale Heritage Fund project in Finsbury Park, London. This involved partnerships with the Museum of London, 2NQ and the Friends of Finsbury Park. The project consisted of an exhibition, new research and LIDAR scans of the park.

Poulter’s current focus is on two long-range projects, called the ‘New Normal’, which consists of a series of paintings and online works. ‘New Normal’ has branched out in a number of directions, with over 100 watercolours of the Ukraine war. Poulter started pulling imagery from Reddit groups with ex - military people discussing the conflict videos. Poulter started pulling imagery back from these videos and also adapting paintings from this. A key part of this project is to convey that Poulter intends to slow things down and translate these digital feeds into a physical medium such as watercolour. Also, in the last three years, Simon has taught MA students at the University of Huddersfield, focusing on creative industries.
