london philharmonic orchestra 2022/23 season publicity and poster

really pleased to have the opportunity to work for the london philharmonic orchestra and JMG studios on images for the 2022/23 season publicity, brochure and poster. the theme for the whole season of music is ” a place to call home ” exploring exclusion, displacement and our need for a sense of belonging through the use of five distinct landscapes and our response to them. I tried to create a sense of thoughtfulness and longing that would match the emotional response to the music. the sublime and picturesque reaction to nature has always fascinated me following the great tradition of the romantic landscape painters of the 18th century. fantastic to work on with JMG Studio. Feed back from the client –

We are really pleased with the illustrations from Simon. In fact our Artistic Director saw the draft brochure with the illustrations this week, and said the following in her email: “This is such a beautiful brochure! Quite stunning artwork and absolutely wonderful design overall. Bravo to all of you for making the visual work match the artistic idea behind the season so well. In my 20+ years in this industry I haven’t experienced anything quite this powerful.”
