Simon Kaan’s paintings evoke contemplation and thoughtfulness. They are not about the angst of questioning our human existence. Nor do they invite us to agonise over where we came from or what we are about, something an Anselm Kiefer or Francis Bacon painting will do. Rather, these are paintings that instil a sense of peace and a level of certainty about our sense of place and the world we inhabit.

Kaan’s trajectory achieves a unique and subtle discourse between the landscaped backgrounds of his paintings and objects and symbols that float or drift within them. Put simply - they draw you in.

These are paintings that evoke a spirit inside ourselves which we have felt before and struggle to keep buried.
