Simon Lewis Wards transforms everyday Kiwi icons into bold, joy-filled artworks that celebrate nostalgia, humour and identity. |
Simon Lewis Wards is an Auckland-based artist celebrated for his playful Pop Kiwiana aesthetic. Drawing on the spirit of Pop Art, he elevates everyday objects into playful and nostalgic icons that reflect the humour and heart of Kiwi culture.
In his studio he works across glass, slip-cast ceramics, screen printing, bronze, and lighting, reimagining familiar forms with a light-hearted edge. Wards’ journey began in glass studios, where he honed both blown-glass and casting techniques, before establishing his own muti-media studio in Auckland. Today, his practice spans exhibitions and collaborations, with his work widely collected. Infused with humour and heart, Wards’ art invites viewers to see the familiar anew- reminding us that even the most ordinary objects can hold extraordinary stories. |
