Simon Bridges moved to Hayfield in 1993 for a taste of country life. He is, apparently, older than he looks, but not wiser.
His career began as a commercial photographer, covering product pack shots, fashion, architecture, right through to album covers for bands.
He now runs a creative and marketing consultancy business, Carbonsix and, since taking an office in Hayfield, the draw of capturing images of the local area led to the opening of Elephantstones Gallery.
Simon Bridges captures photographic images of landscapes in broad vista and textural detail. Simon has little interest in photographic technology and focuses more on composition and mood.

He now runs a creative and marketing consultancy business and, since taking an office in Hayfield, the draw of capturing images of the local area led to the opening of Elephantstones Gallery.
Since opening Elephantstones and meeting Harry Ousey’s niece, Sue Astles, Simon has curated and hung two retrospective exhibitions of Harry Ousey’s abstract landscapes alongside his daughter Eve. First at Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery in 2018 followed by the Cooper Gallery in 2021.
Painterly brush marks, delicate patterns of nature and detailed textures. Using a mixed media approach, Eve’s new series of digital landscape works focus on the beauty of Hayfield vistas and the intricate details of the nature that fills it.

The gallery is also home to a permanent exhibit of original works by abstract landscape artist Harry Ousey (1915-1985), who lived in the village for a short time in 1947. Ousey’s body of work is considered significant in forging a new direction for post-war British Abstract Art, well worth a visit to see!
We have a collection of Harry's work at the gallery which will also be displayed during the event. Call in and see the original works which are also for sale!
