ART NOW SIMEON BARCLAY: THE HERO WEARS CLAY SHOES

Simeon Barclay is a Leeds-based multimedia artist who seeks to understand how we identify and situate ourselves within culture and tradition. His work combines personal memories with appropriated images from advertisements, fashion magazines, sports journalism and the music industry. Barclay explores the cultural significance of these images and the ways in which they are used to both seduce and provoke, presenting a portrait of British society and popular culture.
