The Journey of Brighton Artist Simon Lea Wright

Growing up in an artistic family, my passion for art emerged early. Initially, I pursued architecture in the early 90s but soon shifted to fine art and attended art college. While studying at Southampton, I developed a love for blending perspective geometry with abstract expressionism. This led to the evolution of my unique surrealist style, influenced by The sights and captivating Brighton sea front

I have also created numerous Brighton murals, including a prominent mural at Pier Pressure, one of the UK’s leading escape room venues. Until recently, my paintings were represented by Art 5 Gallery in Brighton’s South Laine. With its closure, I’m currently seeking new local representation.

Throughout my career, I have completed many commissioned paintings and murals. My work is featured in collections both nationally and internationally, and my prints and cards are sold in venues such as the Royal Pavilion Gift Shop and across the South Downs.

Pavilion Peace is a surreal Brighton print that reimagines the Brighton Pavilion and Peace Statue in a dreamlike composition. The vibrant cityscape celebrates these iconic landmarks, weaving together Brighton’s rich history and its serene coastal spirit with a sense of harmony and imagination.
