Artist

Simon Redington

Simon Redington is a Contemporary Realism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Simon Redington spent his life painting the people around him, actors on breaks, friends in borrowed light, so the portraits feel like someone’s cousin you’ve just met. The brushstrokes in Sir John Gielgud as Sir Sydney Cockerell stay loose enough to catch the actor’s restless energy, not just his famous nose. If you like the way a quick sketch can feel more alive than a polished photo, tap into Redington’s 1988 painting and start scrolling.
