MOVEMENT BEHIND THE WHEEL

PAINTINGS BY JOHNSON SIMON

ARTIST STATEMENT

AS AN ARTIST, I FIND INSPIRATION IN UNEXPECTED PLACES. ONE OF THOSE PLACES IS THE INDY 500, AN EVENT THAT IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH SPEED AND ADRENALINE. BUT TO ME, THE INDY 500 IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST RACING. IT'S ABOUT THE HUMAN SPIRIT, DETERMINATION, AND THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE.

THROUGH MY ART, I AIM TO CAPTURE THE ENERGY AND EXCITEMENT OF THE INDY 500 WHILE ALSO EXPLORING ITS DEEPER THEMES. I USE VIBRANT COLORS AND BOLD BRUSHSTROKES TO CONVEY THE SENSE OF MOVEMENT AND MOMENTUM THAT DEFINES THE RACE. AT THE SAME TIME, I INCORPORATE SUBTLE DETAILS AND SYMBOLS THAT REFLECT THE VALUES AND IDEALS THAT MAKE THE INDY 500 SUCH A MEANINGFUL EVENT.

WHETHER YOU'RE A RACING FAN OR NOT, I HOPE THAT MY ARTWORK WILL INSPIRE YOU TO EMBRACE LIFE WITH PASSION AND CREATIVITY. WE MAY NOT ALL BE DRIVERS IN THE INDY 500, BUT WE CAN ALL FIND SOMETHING WORTH PURSUING WITH OUR HEARTS AND SOULS.
