Simon Fieldhouse (fuller bio. below) is a
prodigious Australian architectural artist who has sketched virtually every
historic Australian building of merit (plus a number of greats in London,
Paris, New York, India, etc). Presented here is a detailed gallery of his
work, split into sub-categories.
His sketches are intricate recreations of architectural renderings
(pencil/ink with watercolours as they would have appeared) with the
insertion of cartoon like figures, sometimes whimsical, ironic or
meaningful.
Simon Fieldhouse (born 25 March 1956) is an artist based in Sydney,
Australia. He was educated at Newington College, Barker College, Geelong
Grammar School and the University of Sydney where he obtained a Bachelor of
Arts. He studied law and practiced briefly as a Solicitor ceasing in 1988. He was co-author of "Portraits on Yellow Paper" with former Supreme
Court of New South Wales judge Roderick Meagher. His works have been
exhibited widely. He has produced many paintings depicting Historic Australian
Architecture with whimsical characters. In 2006 he was commissioned by The Faculty of Medicine at the
University of Sydney to produce 35 portraits of Professors of Medicine. This
series follows in the footsteps of Sir Lionel Lindsay, who produced a
similar series in 1916. Simon Fieldhouse has also completed a series of paintings of Historic
Architecture of New York City.
