JÚLÍ 2014 Í sumar kemur Rich Simmons aftur til að herma eftir Modern fyrir sína þriðju einkasýningu sem ber titilinn „KRYPTONITE“. Í kjölfar velgengni „The Inner Outsider“ og „Just Be You Tiful“ erum við spennt að afhjúpa þetta ofurhetju safn, sýna Simmons undirskriftarstíl um leið og við sýnum nýstárlega tækni hans, svo sem notkun á hágljáandi plastefni og að búa til listaverk til vera skoðaður í gegnum þrívíddargleraugu, stökkva af striganum. 'KRYPTONITE' er með uppáhalds teiknimyndapersónurnar okkar frá Wonderwoman til Spiderman, Batman og Superman eins og við höfum aldrei séð þær áður. Hvort sem það er Wonderwoman á Playboy kápu, eða lent í ástríðufullum faðmlagi með Batman, þá fáum við alveg nýja sýn á þessar kraftmiklu persónur á sýningu sem ögrar skynjun okkar á „ofurhetjunni“ bæði í teiknimyndasögum og heiminum í dag.

Rich Simmons is a Contemporary Urban Pop Artist from London who specialises in stencils and has exhibited all over the world. Rich Simmons er samtímaborgarpopplistamaður sem hefur sýnt um allan heim. Verk Simmons kanna gatnamót sjónmenningarinnar og spanna popplist, myndasögur, endurreisnartímann, tísku samtímans, kynhneigð og víðar. Rich Simmons, byggður í London, hefur heimsvísu og frægt fólk eftir að hafa sýnt í nokkrum virtustu sýningarsölum heims í London, New York, LA, Tampa, Miami, Toronto og Genf. 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. Verk Simmons fara yfir gallerí og veggmyndir veggmynda hans má sjá um allan heim með nýjustu 3.400 fermetra veggmyndinni sem er lokið í Rogers Arkansas. Simmons er einnig skapari og stofnandi Art Is The Cure, Vinspired verðlaunasamtaka sem kynna listmeðferð og hafa haldið námskeið og viðræður víða um heim. Inspired by icons like Leonardo da Vinci and Stan Lee, Simmons approaches his art as both an inventor and a storyteller. 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. My work uses familiar imagery, humour, and irony to explore the contradictions of modern life — love and loneliness, belief and doubt, hope and hypocrisy. Drawing on pop culture, street iconography, and storytelling, I create pieces that are immediately accessible but reveal deeper emotional and moral questions the longer they are considered. Rather than offering answers, the work observes human behaviour with empathy and quiet scepticism, inviting the viewer to reflect on the systems, symbols, and narratives we accept without question. At its core, my art is about making complex emotional truths feel simple, human, and honest. „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. Það er sterkur möguleiki að það geti reynst frábær fjárfesting að kaupa verk hans núna. “ Jean-David Malat, fyrrverandi stjórnandi Opera Gallery í London 2016 Self Promoted, London – Solo Show – Reflections 2015 Soho Contemporary Art, New York – Solo Show – Misfits 2015 CASS Contemporary Art, Tampa – Group Show – Corrosively Bright 2015 Artveras Gallery, Geneva – Group Show 2014 Soho Contemporary Art, New York – Solo Show – Studio 259 2014 Soho Contemporary Art, New York – Solo Show – London Calling 2014 Imitate Modern, London – Solo Show – Kryptonite 2013 Imitate Modern, London – Solo Show – The Inner Outsider 2013 Baku, London – Solo Show – Pop up Showcase 2012 Imitate Modern, London – Solo Show – Just be You Tiful 2012 Imitate Modern, London – Group Show – Proud to be British 2012 Baku Museum of Modern Art, Azerbaijan – Group Show 2012 Opera Gallery, London – Group Show 2011 Opera Gallery Pop Up Show, London – Solo Show 2011 Opera Gallery, London – The Street Art Show 2011 Opera Gallery, London – Group Show 2010 Gallery Rouge, St Albans – Solo Show 2018 Christies, London – Charity Art Auction (achieved an auction valuation of £52,000) 2011 Bonhams, London – Urban Art Show (achieved an auction valuation of £8,000) Rich Simmons is a rare force in contemporary art — a self-made, self-taught outsider whose work crashes through the boundaries of genre with unapologetic style. 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
