Simon Claridge is a Commercial Fine Artist. He is best known for his 'Diamond Dust' collection of stars such as Kate Moss, Bridget Bardot, Twiggy and Marilyn Monroe http://simonclaridge.com/. Simon blends a mixture of 'Pop Art' with contemporary art and has been influenced by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and David Hockney http://www.myartbroker.co.uk/Simon-Claridge-Limited-Edition.html. As many artists have done before him, Simon uses Diamond Dust in his paintings and this adds an extra dimension to his work and makes them come alive. Simon has always been involved with art one way or another, after graduating from the university of Reading with a BA in Art, Simon worked in an art gallery in Windsor - starting off as a 3 day a week Art Consultant and shortly afterwards he became manager of the famous gallery leading a team of 5 members. During this time Simon's love for art increased and after spending so much time in and around art he started to develop his own style which is what he has become well known for.
