Simon Linke

Simon Linke is an Australian-born artist known for his distinctive paintings that reproduce advertisement pages from art magazines, particularly focusing on gallery and exhibition announcements. Working primarily in a conceptual vein, his practice interrogates the commodification of art and the language of the art market by elevating mundane commercial imagery into fine art objects. His work sits at the intersection of appropriation art and conceptual painting, having gained recognition in international art circles during the 1980s and beyond.
