About | Rich Simmons Art

Rich Simmons es un artista pop urbano contemporáneo que ha expuesto en todo el mundo. El trabajo de Simmons explora las intersecciones de la cultura visual, abarcando el arte pop, los cómics, el Renacimiento, la moda contemporánea, la sexualidad y más.

Rich Simmons, con sede en Londres, tiene un alcance global y seguidores famosos, habiendo expuesto en algunas de las galerías más prestigiosas del mundo en Londres, Nueva York, Los Ángeles, Tampa, Miami, Toronto y Ginebra. El trabajo de Simmons ahora se ha incorporado a las colecciones del museo con la exposición Men Of Steel, Women Of Wonder que debutará en el Museo de Arte Estadounidense Crystal Bridges en 2019. El año pasado, una de sus obras se vendió por £ 52,000 en una subasta benéfica de Christie's.

El uso audaz de Simmons del color, las plantillas intrincadamente detalladas cortadas a mano, el sentido del humor y las narrativas que invitan a la reflexión a lo largo de su trabajo demuestran que Rich es un artista innovador y altamente coleccionable. El trabajo de Simmons trasciende las galerías y sus murales de arte callejero se pueden ver en todo el mundo con el último mural de 3400 pies cuadrados que se completó en Rogers Arkansas.

Simmons es también el creador y fundador de Art Is The Cure, una organización galardonada de Vinspired que promueve la terapia de arte y ha realizado talleres y charlas en todo el mundo.

Prohbtd magazine described the work by saying, 'Simmons paints like a punk rocker' and as a self-taught artist and storyteller, that outside-the-box mentality and a willingness to write his own rules is clear. Rebellious and controversial but fun and humorous. What the Sex Pistols did with their music and lyrics is what Simmons is doing now with spray paint and canvas, rewriting the rule book and shaping a new genre of Pop Punk Art.

In 2018, a painting created for Gracious Hearts Charity for children with cerebral palsy sold for £52,000 at a Christie’s charity auction.

2022 saw the launch of Simmons NFT debut, with Reflections selling out the 3,333 mint in under an hour and going on to generate $1.8 million in sales on Opensea in the first month. The collection debuted in the top 10 Art NFTs on Opensea and earned finalist spots in the NFT NYC Awards as Best NFT Artist and Best Emerging NFT Artist.

Simmons is also the creator and founder of Art Is The Cure, a Vinspired award-winning organisation promoting art therapy and has run workshops and talks around the world.

“Art Professionals are following Rich Simmons progress closely. It is a strong possibility that buying his work now could turn out to be a great investment.”

Jean-David Malat, JD Malat Gallery

“Rich’s work is very vocal. He mocks on walls and jokes through canvasses. His work is a pop-art palette. It’s funny and it’s present-time, tethered to mainstream culture but also has a hipster twang.”

Alexandra Luella Blog

“Rich’s art is one of those you’ll see in the man cave of a tech entrepreneur and, oddly, also in the walk-in wardrobe of a Chelsea girl. His pieces always have a well-known narrator. An icon that delivers the message for him. The superheroes, Mona Lisa, the 50s pin-up girls; the renowned marks of Chanel and Louis Vuitton. They are contemporary, relevant, each one carries its own message and are very recognisable.”
