Rich Simmons is a Pop Punk Artist based in Brighton specialising in stencils, paintings and street art. “SIMMONS PAINTS LIKE A PUNK ROCKER AND AS A SELF TUAGHT-ARTIST AND STORYTELLER, THAT OUTSIDE-THE-BOX MENTALITY AND 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. ” PROHBTD maGaZInE RICH SImmOnS DOeSn'T JUST maKE ART — He PROVOKES anD DISRUPTS. Part pop artist, part punk provocateur, Simmons is the rebellious lovechild of Stan Lee and Banksy, with a little Leonardo da Vinci in the DNA just to keep things interesting. His self-coined genre Pop Punk Art is exactly what it sounds like — a riot of colour, chaos, and commentary, born from skateparks, comic books, and the kind of music that makes your parents nervous. Entirely self-taught and self-managed, Simmons never asked for permission — he just built his own world instead. A creative outsider in the best possible way, his work hits like a graphic novel left out in the rain: raw, loud, and dripping with deeper meaning. On the surface, it’s slick, stylized and eye-popping. But scratch beneath the stencils and you’ll find coded messages, cultural critique, and questions about identity, society, and sanity. He’s been called a disruptor. A misfit. A visionary. And yeah — he’s all three. Simmons is on a mission to drag art out of white walls and into real life, where it belongs. This isn’t decoration — it’s confrontation. It’s storytelling with spray paint. It’s pop art with a pulse.

Verk Simmons hafa nú gert það að safnasöfnum með Men Of Steel, Women Of Wonder sýningunni sem var frumflutt í Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art árið 2019. Í fyrra seldist eitt verka hans á 52.000 pund á góðgerðaruppboði Christie's. Simmons djörf litanotkun, flókin ítarleg handskorn stensil, kímnigáfa og umhugsunarverðar frásagnir sem ganga í gegnum verk hans eru að sanna að Rich er bæði frumkvöðull og mjög safnandi listamaður.

His pieces often explore themes of identity, duality, and society’s contradictions, offering a layered narrative beneath each bold surface. Beyond the canvas, Simmons is also the founder of Art Is The Cure, a mental health movement he launched in 2008. Driven by his own experiences, he uses his platform to champion the transformative power of creativity, inspiring thousands to turn pain into purpose through art. Described as a visionary, a cultural disruptor, and a dynamic communicator, Rich Simmons bridges generations with his work — resonating with collectors, communities, and anyone who believes art can be a catalyst for change. „Stíll hans og fagurfræði eru sannarlega áhrifamikill. Stensil götulist handan stensilsins og götunnar. Gættu þín á þessum náunga ... “ Mark Hoppus, Blink-182 „Listinni sjálfri mætti mjög vel lýsa sem vel heppnuðum samruna. Framsetning hans á kunnuglegum persónum, bæði raunverulegum og skálduðum, gerir Simmons kleift að smíða frásagnir, stundum aðeins í einum ramma. Það sem Rich Simmons framleiðir er örugglega list, allt frá götunni til galleríáhugamanna af öllum röndum svara verkum hans. Simmons er að sanna að ástríða, alúð og margvísleg áhrif geta skapað grípandi menningarlist. “ Decompoz tímarit „Rich Simmons er hluti af nýrri bylgju götulistamanna sem koma frá Bretlandi. Sem sjálfmenntaður listamaður notar hann flókinn ítarlegan stensilstíl til að koma óorði á húmor sinn. “ 1884 tímarit "Simmons málar eins og pönkari." PROHBTD tímarit "Með því að innleiða nútíma hugarfar til að mynda afturkast myndar Rich Simmons list sem fær þig til að roðna." INKED tímarit „Listafólk fylgist vel með framförum Rich Simmons.

With a foundation in stencil and street techniques, Simmons has coined a genre all his own: Pop Punk Art. It’s a loud, luminous blend of pop art and punk rock, equally inspired by Blink-182 and Banksy, with the slick visual impact of comic books and the raw emotional undercurrent of subculture. What sets Simmons apart isn’t just his aesthetic — it’s his philosophy. A storyteller at heart, he carries the narrative DNA of Stan Lee and the visionary curiosity of Leonardo da Vinci. His works are more than striking visuals; they’re layered, conceptual pieces that invite deeper inspection. Beneath the punchy colours and bold compositions lie social commentary, existential curiosity, and cultural critique. Like da Vinci — once described as a “blithe societal misfit” — Simmons operates on the fringes, thriving as an innovative disruptor in a traditionally gatekept industry. He forges his own path, refusing convention and building a career that reflects the ethos of punk itself: DIY, defiant, and deeply personal. His art isn’t just something to look at — it’s something to feel, think about, and talk about. 2023 Prestige Awards - Contemporary Artist Of The Year - Winner 2022 Prestige Awards - Contemporary Artist Of The Year - Winner 2022 NFT NYC Best Artist - Finalist 2022 NFT NYC Best Emerging Artist - Finalist 2020 Autfest Texas Autism Film Festival - Short Documentary - Winner 2020 Impact Docs Awards - Short Documentary - Winner 2020 Malaysia Mental Health Film Festival - Short Documentary - Finalist 2020 Malaysia Mental Health Film Festival - Short Documentary - Finalist 2020 NYC Mental Health Film FestivalL - Official Selection 2020 Lift Off Film Festival - London, LA, Toronto - Official Selection 2019 Croydon Business Excellence Awards - Commended 2013 HP Smart Business Awards - Social Media - Highly Commended 2009 Vinspired Most Inspirational Young Volunteer - Winner 2009 Princes Trust Young Ambassador Of The Year - Finalist “His style and aesthetic are truly impressive. Stencil street art beyond the stencil and the street. Watch out for this dude…” Mark HOPPus, Blink-182 “The art itself could very well be described as a successful fusion. His representations of familiar figures, both real and fictional, allow Simmons to construct narratives, sometimes in only a single frame. What Rich Simmons produces is definitely art, from the street to the gallery enthusiasts of all stripes respond to his work. Simmons is proving that passion, dedication and a wide variety of influences can create engaging cross-cultural art.” DecOmPOz Magazine “Rich Simmons is part of a new wave of street artists emerging from the UK. As a self-taught artist, he uses an intricately detailed stencil style to convey his irreverent sense of humour.” 1884 Magazine "By implementing modern mentality to throwback imagery, Rich Simmons makes art that will make you blush." INKED Magazine “Simmons bold and beautiful work certainly stands out from the street art crowd despite employing many of its conventions. Somehow, in his hands, the use of montage and slogans feels fresh and new.” HuffingtOn POst “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 EXHIBITIONS STREET ART NFT MEDIA YOUTUBE CREATESCENE ART IS THE CURE
