Often combining paint with prints made from found or recycled natural materials, he extends the possibilities of mark-making through experimental processes that fuse material, image, and meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimpson’s work explores humanity’s relationship with the natural world, seeking to move beyond dominant extraction-based ways of thinking towards a more ecocentric understanding of environment and interconnectedness. By incorporating organic matter and repurposed materials into his process, the works become both representations of nature and physical traces of it. Through this merging of medium and subject, his practice examines cycles of growth, decay, transformation, and ecological coexistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe completed a BA (Hons) in Printmaking at Cambridge School of Art, UK (1995–1998).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecent exhibitions include the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair at Woolwich Works, London (2025); the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition, London (2023 \u0026amp; 2024); the \u003cem\u003eContemporary Printmaking Prize\u003c\/em\u003e at Fen Ditton Gallery, Cambridge (2023); \u003cem\u003eThe Museum as Ecosystem\u003c\/em\u003e for Tate Exchange at Tate Modern, London (2019); \u003cem\u003eMitosis\u003c\/em\u003e for Tate Exchange at Tate Modern (2018); \u003cem\u003eThe Biological Landscape\u003c\/em\u003e at The Exhibitionist, London (solo, 2018); \u003cem\u003eSymbiotic Drawing\u003c\/em\u003e for Tate Exchange at Tate Modern (2017); a solo exhibition at Beverly Hills Gallery, Los Angeles (2013); \u003cem\u003eJohn Simpson New Work\u003c\/em\u003e at O Contemporary, Soho, London (solo, 2008); and a solo exhibition at Galeria Choque Cultural, São Paulo (2008).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2023, Simpson was selected for the Contemporary Printmaking Prize at Fen Ditton Gallery, Cambridge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AOAP Projects","offers":[{"title":"No insurance (+£0)","offer_id":57733105844598,"sku":null,"price":475.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK insurance (+£15)","offer_id":58013679288694,"sku":null,"price":490.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Europe insurance (+£25)","offer_id":57987685024118,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rest of World insurance (+£35)","offer_id":57987685056886,"sku":null,"price":510.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2714\/0060\/files\/Artwork190.jpg?v=1779803430","url":"https:\/\/aoapprojects.com\/products\/john-simpson-afterglow-ii","provider":"AOAP Projects ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
