Artist Simon Quadrat

Born in London in 1946, the son of Jewish parents who separately fled Nazi Germany.

‘A beaker or a pair of glasses and a cigarette butt are just things but in the hands of a great painter they become transformed; you see these things in a different way and that is their reason and justification.’
