Rich Simmons est un artiste pop urbain contemporain qui a exposé dans le monde entier. Le travail de Simmons explore les intersections de la culture visuelle, couvrant le pop art, la bande dessinée, la Renaissance, la mode contemporaine, la sexualité et au-delà.
Basée à Londres, Rich Simmons a une portée mondiale et des célébrités, ayant exposé dans certaines des galeries les plus prestigieuses du monde à Londres, New York, Los Angeles, Tampa, Miami, Toronto et Genève. Le travail de Simmons a maintenant fait partie des collections du musée avec l'exposition Men Of Steel, Women Of Wonder qui a fait ses débuts au Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art en 2019. L'année dernière, l'une de ses œuvres s'est vendue 52 000 £ lors d'une vente aux enchères caritative Christie's.
Simmons utilise audacieusement la couleur, des pochoirs minutieusement détaillés découpés à la main, le sens de l'humour et des récits stimulants qui traversent son travail prouvent que Rich est à la fois un artiste innovateur et très collectionneur. Le travail de Simmons transcende les galeries et ses peintures murales d'art de rue peuvent être vues dans le monde entier avec la dernière murale de 3400 pieds carrés en cours de réalisation à Rogers Arkansas.
Simmons est également le créateur et fondateur d'Art Is The Cure, une organisation primée de Vinspired qui promeut l'art-thérapie et a organisé des ateliers et des conférences dans le monde entier.
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
I can teach beginner stencil techniques in a group workshop, from drawing, to cutting, to painting. These workshops could be done for small to medium sized groups and can be done at a location that suits you, like a school or youth club or a workshop for team building day for your employees.
SCHOOL WORKSHOP
I have been to lots of schools around the world and given talks about art therapy and what it takes to become an artist, alongside practical sessions that I can run with students. This could range from stencil making and painting, to other painting style workshops, as well as group murals where I work with students to create a mural in a school which can inspire and excite students for many years to come.
ART IS
THE CURE
I can run relaxing art therapy style workshops involving colouring in sessions alongside talks about Art Is The Cure. There are a lot of therapeutic benefits to art and spending some time relaxing and colouring is an easy way to help people reduce stress levels. I have run these workshops in galleries, schools and at events where I am giving talks.
PRIVATE
TUTORIAL
If you are looking for a more advanced lesson in all things art, stencils and spray paint, I can run a private session at my Brighton art studio where you can come and learn from me for an afternoon or full day. Pick my brain, learn techniques, see what goes into creating my style of art and leave inspired and full of new skills and knowledge.
