+ About the artist

Simon Popper is a British artist who lives in California.

Simon Popper’s work can be broadly understood by its degrees of visual and linguistic separation, that is, through its titles (its naming) and the relations between what the works appear to be, what they are and what they might become. This often rests upon a hinge of wordplay or punning and visual tropes to break down or collapse objects and ideas characterised by a sense of the comedic or the deadpan – but in all seriousness – in a logic of displacement or derangement. The work of Simon Popper is an invitation to delinquency, an abandonment of one’s place anchoring a rational centred self into some altogether other self in another place, ordered and classified by systematic play and caprice if only for a moment. - David Bussel, curator

Simon Popper's work has been featured in numerous exhibitions at key galleries and museums, including Thomas Dane Gallery, London; Belmacz, London and most recently in the acclaimed show Mushrooms: The Art, Design And Future Of Fungi, Somerset House, London.
