Simon Periton

Simon Periton is a British artist best known for his intricate, hand-cut paper works that blend decorative and subversive imagery, often incorporating motifs drawn from punk culture, folklore, and ornamental traditions. His delicate silhouette-style cutouts frequently juxtapose beauty with darker or anarchic undertones, creating a tension between the craft of the work and its content. Periton has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, gaining recognition for pushing the boundaries of paper as a fine art medium.
