Description
An acrylic on linen original artwork by Simon Lee Robson.
An epic, large-scale exercise in the refinement of artistic technique, the artwork Paul Wading Through Water (2010), showcases both skilful craftsmanship and evocative imagery. The painting highlights the significance of water in the Apostle Paul’s life and teachings. Paul’s journeys often brought him into contact with water, symbolising both physical and spiritual trials. He survived shipwrecks, faced peril at sea, and crossed rivers during his missionary travels, reflecting his unwavering faith amidst adversity. Water also echoes the theme of baptism in his teachings, representing renewal and transformation through Christ.
Acrylic on linen, with 20/30 coats scumble glaze, varnish painted in and over. We would like to draw attention to the subtleties in light and depth which have been achieved in these glazing techniques. This unique piece features subtle variations that enhance its charm and character.
Revisiting the masterpieces of Renaissance and Baroque legends, Masterpiece Studies | 2025 pays homage while offering a fresh perspective through Simon Lee Robson’s skilled interpretations.
Dedicated to studying and recreating masterpieces of Christian religious artwork, Robson stands as a bridge between past and present. Deeply inspired by the profound visual narratives of Caravaggio and Sebastiano del Piombo, he has devoted himself to capturing the spiritual intensity and technical brilliance of these iconic works on canvas. In addition to honouring these iconic pieces, Robson has also painted several original works as exercises in technique refinement. While some are direct studies of original masterpieces, others are inspired by the style and techniques of these masters, allowing him to deepen his mastery of composition, light, and form.
Masterpiece Studies | 2025 stands as more than an exercise in technical replication; it is a spiritual dialogue with the masters. By revisiting these iconic works, Robson not only preserves their legacy but invites modern audiences to experience their timeless beauty. This collection serves as a testament to the enduring power of Christian art to inspire, transform, and connect across generations. These magnificent, large-scale original acrylic works on canvas and linen offer a rare opportunity to own a part of this deeply personal and spiritual journey.
