Stiles Be aka Simon K Burt (b.1977)
Stiles Be is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, works on paper and repurposed textiles. His practice draws on his background in street art, music, fashion, and graphic design, steeped in the dynamic expression of style attendant in the exchange, practices, beliefs and values of inhabiting urban spaces.
Working primarily on canvas, his recent compositions have been abstract explorations of the unconscious.
Variously scaled compositions in a range of materials – including acrylic and aerosol paint, both dabbed and sprayed – invoke the fluidity and shifting planes of internal worlds and the grit and cool tonal palette of urban life.
Stiles Be lives in Tarntanyangga-Adelaide.
