Rich Simmons is een hedendaagse urban popartiest die over de hele wereld heeft geëxposeerd. Simmons werk verkent de kruispunten van de visuele cultuur, van popart tot stripboeken, de Renaissance, hedendaagse mode, seksualiteit en nog veel meer.
Rich Simmons, gevestigd in Londen, heeft een wereldwijd bereik en wordt gevolgd door beroemdheden, nadat hij heeft geëxposeerd in enkele van 's werelds meest prestigieuze galerijen in Londen, New York, LA, Tampa, Miami, Toronto en Genève. Werk van Simmons is nu opgenomen in museumcollecties met de tentoonstelling Men Of Steel, Women Of Wonder die in 2019 debuteerde in het Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Vorig jaar werd een van zijn werken verkocht voor £ 52.000 op een liefdadigheidsveiling van Christie's.
Simmons gewaagde kleurgebruik, ingewikkeld gedetailleerde handgesneden stencils, gevoel voor humor en tot nadenken stemmende verhalen die door zijn werk lopen, bewijzen dat Rich zowel een innovator als een zeer verzamelbare kunstenaar is. Het werk van Simmons overstijgt galerijen en zijn muurschilderingen op straatkunst zijn over de hele wereld te zien met de nieuwste muurschildering van 3.400 vierkante meter die wordt voltooid in Rogers, Arkansas.
Simmons is ook de maker en oprichter van Art Is The Cure, een door Vinspired bekroonde organisatie die kunsttherapie promoot en workshops en lezingen over de hele wereld heeft gehouden.
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
Hands-on sessions that demystify the craft at the heart of my work. In these workshops, participants learn core stencil techniques — from planning and layering to precision cutting and clean execution — using tools and processes drawn directly from my studio practice. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced maker, the focus is on skill development, creative confidence and producing pieces you’ll be proud to take home.
SCHOOL WORKSHOP
Dynamic, age-appropriate creative experiences designed for classrooms, youth groups and community settings. These sessions blend practical art-making — including spray paint fundamentals and expressive mark-making — with creative thinking and visual storytelling. Structured to be engaging and inclusive, they encourage participants to explore personal expression within a supportive environment and walk away with a tangible result.
ART IS
THE CURE
Creative space as creative therapy. These sessions are less about technique and more about presence — using colouring, pattern, expressive mark-making and moderated creative prompts to invite relaxation, focus and reflection. Accompanied by an optional talk, these workshops are ideal for organisations seeking wellbeing-centred creative experiences for teams, communities or individuals. No pressure, all play — and a reminder that making is part of being.
PRIVATE
TUTORIAL
A bespoke, one-to-one immersion in studio practice. These tailored sessions take place in my working space and are designed for artists and creatives who want direct insight into my process, decision-making and workflow. You’ll get focused guidance on technique, composition, conceptual development — all framed around your own creative goals and questions. Think of it as mentorship, not lesson.
