Rich Simmons è un artista pop urbano contemporaneo che ha esposto in tutto il mondo. Il lavoro di Simmons esplora le intersezioni della cultura visiva, che abbraccia la pop art, i fumetti, il Rinascimento, la moda contemporanea, la sessualità e oltre.
Rich Simmons, con sede a Londra, ha una portata globale e un seguito di celebrità, avendo esposto in alcune delle gallerie più prestigiose del mondo a Londra, New York, LA, Tampa, Miami, Toronto e Ginevra. Il lavoro di Simmons è ora entrato nelle collezioni del museo con la mostra Men Of Steel, Women Of Wonder che debutta al Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art nel 2019. L'anno scorso una delle sue opere è stata venduta per £ 52.000 a un'asta di beneficenza di Christie's.
L'audace uso del colore di Simmons, gli stencil ritagliati a mano dai dettagli intricati, il senso dell'umorismo e le narrazioni stimolanti che attraversano il suo lavoro stanno dimostrando che Rich è sia un artista innovatore che altamente collezionabile. Il lavoro di Simmons trascende le gallerie e i suoi murales di arte di strada possono essere visti in tutto il mondo con l'ultimo murale di 3.400 piedi quadrati in fase di completamento a Rogers Arkansas.
Simmons è anche il creatore e fondatore di Art Is The Cure, un'organizzazione pluripremiata Vinspired che promuove l'arteterapia e ha tenuto seminari e conferenze in tutto il mondo.
From structured stencil workshops and spray-paint sessions for schools, to Art Is The Cure experiences centred on creative wellbeing and mindful making, each format is designed with intention. Some workshops focus on skill and technique; others explore expression, confidence and the therapeutic rhythm of colour and repetition. For those seeking something more immersive, private one-to-one studio tutorials offer direct insight into Simmons’ methods, mindset and creative decision-making.
Whether delivered in classrooms, creative studios, community spaces or the artist’s own working environment, these workshops are built to demystify the process and empower participants to find their own visual voice — grounded in craft, experimentation and the belief that creativity is not reserved for the few, but available to anyone willing to pick up the tools.
STENCIL
WORKSHOP
Hands-on sessions that demystify the craft at the heart of my work. In these workshops, participants learn core stencil techniques — from planning and layering to precision cutting and clean execution — using tools and processes drawn directly from my studio practice. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced maker, the focus is on skill development, creative confidence and producing pieces you’ll be proud to take home.
SCHOOL WORKSHOP
Dynamic, age-appropriate creative experiences designed for classrooms, youth groups and community settings. These sessions blend practical art-making — including spray paint fundamentals and expressive mark-making — with creative thinking and visual storytelling. Structured to be engaging and inclusive, they encourage participants to explore personal expression within a supportive environment and walk away with a tangible result.
ART IS
THE CURE
Creative space as creative therapy. These sessions are less about technique and more about presence — using colouring, pattern, expressive mark-making and moderated creative prompts to invite relaxation, focus and reflection. Accompanied by an optional talk, these workshops are ideal for organisations seeking wellbeing-centred creative experiences for teams, communities or individuals. No pressure, all play — and a reminder that making is part of being.
PRIVATE
TUTORIAL
A bespoke, one-to-one immersion in studio practice. These tailored sessions take place in my working space and are designed for artists and creatives who want direct insight into my process, decision-making and workflow. You’ll get focused guidance on technique, composition, conceptual development — all framed around your own creative goals and questions. Think of it as mentorship, not lesson.
