"My work is influenced by my interest in 20th century history, popular culture and women with no clothes on."
Simon Dixon's iconic pop art images gained instant popularity with the underground scene from their very first showing in 1998. Dixon now has an established reputation for witty, eye-popping portraits of twentieth century icons. His subjects include Mohammed Ali, Johnny Rotten, Billie Holiday and Chief Kicking Bear, and his painting style is pure pop, with photographic detail imposed on broad areas of flat colour.
