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.

VISIT ART IS THE CURE SITE BOOK AN ART IS THE CURE TALK My name is Rich and art is my cure. I launched Art Is The Cure in 2008 with a simPle idea, tO insPire Other PeOPle whO were struggling tO find creativity as a release." "I had always been creative growing up, so art was a natural release for me; I would draw or paint to turn away from negative releases through struggles I faced at home growing up. Realising that creative therapy was not widely spoken about, I made it my goal to raise awareness of it through inspiration. Over a decade later, Art Is The Cure has encouraged countless people to find their cure through art." — Rich Simmons, Founder Art Is The Cure wants to change the way people see art as a form of creative therapy and inspire people to turn to creativity instead of negative releases. Our mission is to introduce as many people as possible to the concept of art therapy and the transformative nature of using creativity as a vehicle for healing. By telling the stories of people who have used a version of art therapy in their life, we hope to inspire new people to see creativity in a new way and harness it for themselves. Through interviews, films, podcasts, workshops, school visits, fashion, street art, colouring books, events and more, we want to inspire hope, build a community and create a movement. We believe that everyone has the ability to be creative and everyone has a cure at their fingertips. Our goal is to inspire people to tap into that creativity and find the strength to harness their inner artist to overcome negative experiences in life. This platform will be used to inspire people, through inspirational stories, interviews and films to become part of this growing community. With your support, we can turn this community into a movement that inspires people all over the world.

Rich Simmons is a Contemporary Urban Pop Artist from London who specialises in stencils and has exhibited all over the world. Rich Simmons er en moderne urban popartist, der har udstillet over hele verden. Simmons arbejde udforsker skæringspunkterne mellem den visuelle kultur og spænder over popkunst, tegneserier, renæssancen, moderne mode, seksualitet og videre. London-baserede Rich Simmons har en global rækkevidde og berømthed efter at have udstillet i nogle af verdens mest prestigefyldte gallerier i London, New York, LA, Tampa, Miami, Toronto og Genève. Simmons arbejde har nu gjort det til museumssamlinger med udstillingen Men Of Steel, Women Of Wonder, der debuterede på Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art i 2019. Sidste år solgte et af hans værker til £ 52.000 på en Christies velgørenhedsauktion. Simmons dristige brug af farve, indviklede detaljerede håndskårne stencils, sans for humor og tankevækkende fortællinger, der løber gennem hans arbejde, viser, at Rich er både en innovator og kunstner, der er meget samlerobjekt. Simmons arbejde overskrider gallerier, og hans gadekunstmalerier kan ses over hele verden med det nyeste 3.400 m² store vægmaleri, der afsluttes i Rogers Arkansas. Simmons er også skaberen og grundlæggeren af Art Is The Cure, en Vinspired prisvindende organisation, der fremmer kunstterapi og har kørt workshops og samtaler rundt om i verden. 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. ”Hans stil og æstetik er virkelig imponerende. Stencil street art ud over stencilen og gaden. Pas på denne fyr ... ” Mark Hoppus, Blink-182 ”Kunsten selv kunne meget vel beskrives som en vellykket fusion. Hans repræsentationer af velkendte figurer, både ægte og fiktive, giver Simmons mulighed for at konstruere fortællinger, nogle gange kun i en enkelt ramme. Hvad Rich Simmons producerer er afgjort kunst, fra gaden til galleriet, som alle striber reagerer på hans arbejde. Simmons beviser, at lidenskab, dedikation og en lang række påvirkninger kan skabe engagerende tværkulturel kunst. ” Decompoz magasin ”Rich Simmons er en del af en ny bølge af gadekunstnere, der kommer fra Storbritannien. Som selvlært kunstner bruger han en indviklet detaljeret stencilstil til at formidle sin ærbødige sans for humor. ” 1884 magasin "Simmons maler som en punk rocker." PROHBTD Magazine "Ved at implementere moderne mentalitet til throwback-billeder, laver Rich Simmons kunst, der får dig til at rødme." INKED Magazine ”Kunstprofessionelle følger Rich Simmons fremskridt nøje. Det er en stærk mulighed, at det at købe hans arbejde nu kan vise sig at være en stor investering. ” Jean-David Malat, tidligere direktør for Opera Gallery London 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.
