Selected works
The artist
Born in St Andrews in 1946 and trained at Edinburgh College of Art, Simon Britton has spent a lifetime on a single question — how the human body moves, and how bodies relate to one another in space.
That question runs through everything: jointed wooden figures caught mid-movement, the collective Walkwork performances, vivid colour life-drawing, and decades of teaching others to draw the moving figure.
