"Simon Calley's paintings are about light, air, weather and views over the city. The film of cloudy white which envelops many of his canvases evokes misty days, pollution and haze... but the image also seems retrospective, as though it were ensconced in memory. His grey-buff surfaces are the colour of concrete and Portland stone as well as of fog and river mist. These paintings are not simply cityscapes; their relationship to the environment is more complex and more conceptual." (S. Kent and J. Blyth, 'Shark Infested Waters - The Saatchi Collection of British Art in the '90's', London 1994, p.13.)
