Simon De Boer / Jesse Freeman

Our lives are about chance, as it is unfeasible to see beyond a single moment. My practice exemplifies and embodies the messy, disjointed human experience by playfully combining painting and sculptural using found materials and examining themes like place, instability, social perspective and fate.

He has had two solo shows and exhibits across Australia and Japan.

Simon also works freelance as a graphic designer, in house for an international school and contributes writing to Tokyo Art Beat about Japanese visual art culture and setting.
