Rich Simmons er en moderne urban popartist som har stilt ut over hele verden. Simmons arbeid utforsker skjæringspunktene mellom den visuelle kulturen, og spenner over popkunst, tegneserier, renessansen, moderne mote, seksualitet og videre.
London-baserte Rich Simmons har en global rekkevidde og kjendis etter, etter å ha stilt ut i noen av verdens mest prestisjefylte gallerier i London, New York, LA, Tampa, Miami, Toronto og Genève. Simmons-arbeid har nå gjort det til museesamlinger med utstillingen Men Of Steel, Women Of Wonder som ble debutert på Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art i 2019. I fjor solgte et av hans verk for 52 000 pund på en Christie's veldedighetsauksjon.
Simmons dristig bruk av farger, intrikat detaljerte håndklippte sjablonger, sans for humor og tankevekkende fortellinger som løper gjennom arbeidet hans, viser at Rich er både en innovatør og kunstner som er svært samleobjekt. Simmons-arbeid overskrider gallerier, og gatekunstmalerier kan sees over hele verden, med det nyeste 3400 m² store veggmaleriet som blir fullført i Rogers Arkansas.
Simmons er også skaperen og grunnleggeren av Art Is The Cure, en Vinspired prisvinnende organisasjon som fremmer kunstterapi og har drevet workshops og samtaler over hele verden.
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.
