About
"My current work explores the relationship between art and science, and the grey area between a scientific model and an artistic expression. The objective and the subjective view of the world, both explore the same physical nature of existence and appear to be like two side of the same coin and intimately interconnected".
Simon Kennedy 2024.
Originally from London and now based in Glasgow, Scotland, Simon is known for his work in sculpture, installation, and painting. He has exhibited in the UK and internationally and has undertaken many residencies and site-specific projects, such as, Funkhaus, Berlin, 2013, The Icecreamists, London 2011 and The Palais de Tokyo, Paris 2008. He has artworks in permanent collections including Bretton Hall & Yorkshire Sculpture Park, NAEA, Barclay-Russell Memorial Collection and Tate Gallery Artist Publication Archive.
His artistic practice is deeply influenced by physics, particularly cosmology, quantum gravity, and relativity. Often incorporating found objects into his work, Simon creates pieces that explore themes of space-time, physical scale, relativity, connections, entanglement, interactions and systems all within dimensional and imaginary space. His work is often humours and portrays a sense of wonder. Alongside his artistic practice, Simon is undertaking a university course in quantum physics as part of his research.
His resent works includes "The Stardust Principle No2" which was exhibited at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017 and is part of and ongoing series of large scale sculpture works on the theme of cosmology, together with "Stardust Principle No1 The Craignish Sundial" which is permanently located at Loch Craignish, Argyll, Scotland. “Stardust Principle No3 The Pointer, North Star Polaris” shown at the Winter Sculpture Park, Kent 2023, curated by Gallery no 32. He is planning the fourth in the series to be completed in 2025.
