Steve Simpson: Beyond the Surface of Things

Introducing an exploration into the unseen, where art transcends the boundaries of perception and scientific exploration. Steve Simpson’s virtual exhibition, Beyond the Surface of Things,  invites viewers into a world where the microscopic becomes monumental, and reality is dissected and reconstructed through the lens of abstraction. With his background as a photographer, Simpson once captured what the eye could see. Now, as a painter, he delves beneath the surface, expressing the hidden structures that shape our existence.

In this collection, Simpson merges artistic inquiry with scientific curiosity, drawing parallels to pioneers like Kandinsky and the Cubists. His works explore the relationship between humanity and technology by engaging with the molecular, the cellular, and the universal. Through vibrant color, texture, and form, Simpson explores the dynamic interplay between the micro and the macro, inviting viewers to question not just what they see, but the very nature of existence.

Simpson's art is a paradox—where a microscope can just as easily become a telescope, blurring the lines between introspection and cosmic exploration. His playful yet profound abstractions prompt viewers to engage in their own journey of discovery, peering into the unseen and reflecting on the ways in which art, science, and life converge.

Step into this virtual exhibition, and immerse yourself in Simpson’s visual symphony, where the molecular becomes monumental, and the unseen reveals the fundamental truths of our existence.
