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.

Rich Simmons is a Contemporary Urban Pop Artist from London who specialises in stencils and has exhibited all over the world. Rich Simmons는 전 세계에서 전시 한 현대 도시 팝 아티스트입니다. Simmons work는 팝 아트, 만화책, 르네상스, 현대 패션, 섹슈얼리티 등을 아우르는 시각 문화의 교차점을 탐구합니다. 런던에 본사를 둔 Rich Simmons는 런던, 뉴욕, LA, 탬파, 마이애미, 토론토 및 제네바에있는 세계에서 가장 유명한 갤러리 중 일부에서 전시 한 바 있으며 전 세계적으로 명성을 얻고 있습니다. Simmons의 작품은 현재 2019 년 Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art에서 데뷔 한 Men Of Steel, Women Of Wonder 전시회를 통해 박물관 컬렉션에 포함되었습니다. 작년에 그의 작품 중 하나가 Christie의 자선 경매에서 £ 52,000에 판매되는 것을 보았습니다. Simmons의 대담한 색상 사용, 복잡하게 세밀한 손으로 자른 스텐실, 유머 감각 및 생각을 자극하는 이야기는 Rich가 혁신가이자 수집 가능성이 높은 예술가임을 증명합니다. Simmons의 작품은 갤러리를 초월하며 그의 거리 예술 벽화는 Rogers Arkansas에서 완성되는 최신 3,400 평방 피트 벽화로 전 세계에서 볼 수 있습니다.

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. “그의 스타일과 미학은 정말 인상적입니다. 스텐실과 거리 너머 스텐실 거리 예술. 이 친구 조심해…” 마크 홉 퍼스, 블링크 -182 “예술 자체는 성공적인 융합으로 잘 설명 될 수 있습니다. 실제와 허구의 친숙한 인물에 대한 그의 표현을 통해 Simmons는 때로는 단 하나의 프레임에서 내러티브를 구성 할 수 있습니다. Rich Simmons가 생산하는 것은 거리에서 모든 줄무늬의 갤러리 애호가에 이르기까지 분명히 예술입니다. Simmons는 열정, 헌신 및 다양한 영향이 매력적인 이문화 예술을 만들 수 있음을 증명하고 있습니다.” Decompoz 매거진 “Rich Simmons는 영국에서 떠오르는 거리 예술가들의 새로운 물결의 일부입니다. 독학 예술가로서 그는 복잡하고 세부적인 스텐실 스타일을 사용하여 그의 불경 한 유머 감각을 전달합니다.” 1884 잡지 "Simmons는 펑크 락커처럼 페인트합니다." PROHBTD 매거진 "회귀 이미지에 현대적인 사고 방식을 구현함으로써 Rich Simmons는 당신을 붉게 만드는 예술을 만듭니다."

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
