“Once in a while an artist comes along with the natural ability to create ripples in the art world. Rich Simmons is one such artist. Using charming irreverence to make commentary on topical subjects, Simmons has left his mark all over the globe. Having spent time immersing himself in both the London and New York underground art scenes, this is one artist who knows how to subvert and gently create havoc. But more than that, he entertains and enthrals. His dazzling artworks are not just conversation starters, but whole showpieces and part of what is set to be a great story of a rising star.”

“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.”

“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

 

"Simmons paints like a punk rocker."

PROHBTD 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.”

“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’s work is very vocal. He mocks on walls and jokes through canvasses. His work is a pop-art palette. It’s funny and it’s present-time, tethered to mainstream culture but also has a hipster twang.”

“Rich’s art is one of those you’ll see in the man cave of a tech entrepreneur and, oddly, also in the walk-in wardrobe of a Chelsea girl. His pieces always have a well-known narrator. An icon that delivers the message for him. The superheroes, Mona Lisa, the 50s pin-up girls; the renowned marks of Chanel and Louis Vuitton. They are contemporary, relevant, each one carries its own message and are very recognisable.”
