Simon Carter is an artist and curator who was born in Chelmsford and grew up in Frinton-on-Sea, Essex in 1961.[1]

He studied at Colchester Institute (1980-81) and then North East London Polytechnic (1981-84).[2][3] Often described as a 'painter's painter',[4] solo exhibitions of Carter’s paintings have been held by The SEA Foundation, Tiburg; Messum's, London and Firstsite, Colchester. His work has been acquired by several art museums including Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Falmouth Art Gallery, Rugby Art Gallery and Museum, Swindon Art Gallery and the University of Essex.[5]

Carter’s painting lies between figuration and abstraction, illustrating both landscape and the subjectivity of looking,[6] to reflect a perceptual and psychological experience of the world.[7]

In 2013 he collaborated with artist Robert Priseman to form the artist led group Contemporary British Painting and then the ‘East Contemporary Art Collection’, the first dedicated collection of contemporary art for the East of England which is housed at UCS, Ipswich. [8][9]

Carter is President of Colchester Art Society[10] and has been Artist-in-residence at the University of Essex and Firstsite, Colchester.[11]

Carter is represented internationally by Messum's.
