Paul Simonon - LA Art Show Featured Artist: LA Convention Center
Forthcoming exhibition
Overview
Paul Simonon: Painting and Biking in London and LA brings together five paintings that trace the artist’s lifelong connection to biker culture, from the streets of Paddington in the 1960s to his journey through California with Steve Jones in the 1980s. Painted a decade ago and drawn from Simonon’s personal collection, the works depict jackets, gloves, bikes, and helmets as quiet still lifes, imbued with the spirit of the ride. Presented by John Martin Gallery, the show reveals the profound influence biker culture has had on shaping Simonon’s artistic output, in both painting and music.
With special thanks to David Lancaster and Paul D’Orleans for their help with this exhibition.
