Simon Hennessey

Simon graduated with a First Class (Hons) degree Fine Art in 2003, and works from his home Studio in Birmingham, UK. He has shown at numerous galleries and exhibitions in the UK and his work is featured in collections throughout Europe and USA.

It was a recommendation to visit the Plus One gallery in London by the pioneering photorealist artist John Salt that helped Simon become part of their portfolio of gallery artists. Since joining the gallery Simon’s work is regularly shown in Group shows and to date he’s had one solo exhibition with his next one scheduled for late 2011.

Simon is currently dedicated to producing work for a more imminent event - a major group portrait exhibition with several BP portrait winners; this is due to take place at The Plus One Gallery in March 2011. He also features in the recently published book Exactitude: Hyper Realist Art Today. poetsandartists.com 5
