- Lot Description
Simon Bull (British-born in 1958, became American citizen in 2011). "We Are One" - a hand-painted giclee on canvas, 2013. Hand-signed in ink by the artist on the lower right. Numbered 67/350 on the verso. A breathtaking composition by Simon Bull, featuring an enormous blossom of a poppy flower surrounded by petite blue and violet blossoms with orange centers (pistils) that complement the vermilion hues of the poppy flower, and elegant foliage tendrils, all against a dark background. Bull was diagnosed with stage two colon cancer in 2005, and following surgery, he had visions of vibrant colors against dark backgrounds in his dreams. Bull's interpretation of his dreams was that he should enjoy life and live in the present moment. In his words, "We have to seize the day and live fully in this moment. When times get hard, sometimes it brings out the best in us." (Source: "Lessons Learned from Simon Bull" September 8, 2016 - Park West Gallery website) Size of artwork: 18" L x 18" W (45.7 cm x 45.7 cm) Size of frame: 25.375" L x 25.375" W (64.5 cm x 64.5 cm)
Simon Bull earned a BA in Fine Art with honors from Leeds Polytechnic in 1980. He studied under Norman Webster and Norman Ackroyd. In addition to beautiful floral compositions like this example, Bull was invited to create a series of paintings celebrating Muhammed Ali in 2007 - and in 2009, Muhammad Ali commissioned Bull to paint portrait of President Barack Obama. According to Bull's website, "His two joint portraits of Barack Obama and Muhammad Ali were unveiled at the Kentucky Bluegrass Ball on the eve of the Presidential Inauguration in Washington DC by actress Ashley Judd."
