Simon Ogden’s work draws heavily from his long-held interest in European, English and American Modernism and Surrealism. His work interweaves artistic concerns with personal passions opening the door to a more varied dialogue, one that contains figuration and symbolic references to the landscape and the body. His interests move across painting, object-making, design, printmaking, photography and drawing. Each of these areas of creative activity reinforces, feeds and extends the possibilities of his continuing artistic practice. He is an avid collector of materials and an obsessive viewer of environments, surfaces, history and form.

An expansive exhibition, titled the edge of becoming, features linoleum inlay works, paintings on canvas, watercolours and three-dimensional constructions from the early 2000s to the present. Two artist-designed rugs, produced by Dilana, are also included.
