INTRODUCTION PROLOGUE CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 3 CHAPTER 4 CHAPTER 5 CHAPTER 6 REVIEWS The Prism — Checkmate is the origin story of a new superhero set in London. A powerful synthetic drug known as Met-X has begun circulating across the city, causing temporary mutations in its users. Crime rates surge as those enhanced by the drug gain unpredictable abilities. Behind the operation stands a calculating criminal mastermind known only as The Grandmaster, who views society as a chessboard and people as pieces to be moved, sacrificed, or promoted in pursuit of long-term control. When a glowing, rainbow-hued meteorite crashes in the Mojave Desert, it is secured by the Creative Research and Development Laboratory Enterprise (CRADLE) before other global agencies can intervene. Transported to CRADLE’s headquarters on London’s Southbank, the meteorite displays unusual energetic properties unlike any known material. CRADLE’s director, Arthur Kinsey, assigns his most gifted scientist, Isaac Wells, to lead the investigation. Isaac, alongside biomedical engineer Clara Banks and engineering prodigy Kenzi Nakamura, discovers that the meteorite contains a reactive compound capable of interacting with human biology at a cellular level. Its energy signature resembles the active component of Met-X. It becomes clear that the drug destabilising London may have originated from fragments of this extraterrestrial material. When The Grandmaster learns that CRADLE possesses the meteorite, he orders an aggressive retrieval operation. CRADLE employees are kidnapped, and the Southbank facility is attacked by enhanced operatives fuelled by Met-X. Determined to rescue his colleagues, Isaac leads a counter-operation using experimental CRADLE technologies and prototype engineering systems. Though he succeeds in freeing hostages, he is gravely injured during the confrontation. Isaac is rushed back to CRADLE, where he flatlines. In desperation, Clara reveals she has secretly engineered a prismatic variant of Met-X derived from her research into the meteorite’s full energy spectrum. Unlike the unstable red version distributed by The Grandmaster, her version was designed to stabilise and harmonise the mutation process. With no time for approval or trials, she injects Isaac. He survives. Isaac awakens fundamentally changed. The prismatic compound grants him controlled, adaptive abilities tied to energy manipulation and enhanced perception. He becomes the first stable evolution of the meteorite’s power. Initially conflicted about using his abilities, Isaac realises The Grandmaster is preparing a final escalation: a plan to trigger a chain reaction beneath London using weaponised meteorite energy embedded within the Underground system. The resulting explosion would release mutagenic energy across the transport network, exposing thousands and permanently shifting the balance of power in the city. Refusing to allow further harm, Isaac adopts a new identity — The Prism — and, alongside Clara and Kenzi, who equip themselves with advanced CRADLE technology, launches a coordinated assault on The Grandmaster’s network. As the team draw out his enhanced operatives across the city, Isaac infiltrates the Grandmaster’s headquarters. In the climactic confrontation, Isaac uses his full spectrum abilities to prevent the Underground detonation and dismantle the energy core powering the operation. The Grandmaster’s empire collapses, and the immediate threat to London is neutralised. In the aftermath, Isaac accepts that his transformation cannot be undone. Rather than retreat from the consequences of Clara’s decision, he chooses to embrace his new role. As The Prism, he commits to protecting the city while continuing CRADLE’s research into the meteorite’s wider implications. Though The Grandmaster has fallen, Met-X has already altered the landscape. Enhanced individuals exist. The technology cannot be erased. The chess match may have ended, but a new evolutionary era has begun. Checkmate is the first instalment in a planned trilogy charting the rise of The Prism. The series follows Isaac Wells from prodigy scientist to the emergence of a new kind of hero, exploring the scientific, moral and societal consequences of engineered evolution. Subsequent novels, Spectrum and Zenith, expand the scope from a single city under threat to a world reshaped by the power first unleashed in London. Alongside the core trilogy, additional prequels and spin-off stories are planned to explore the origins of CRADLE and the wider emergence of enhanced individuals — forming an interconnected narrative universe known as the Prismverse. The odds of being hit by a meteorite are astronomically small, but that is where this story begins. As a teenager, I was on holiday in Tenerife. I sat out on the hotel balcony one warm August night, watching the Perseid meteor shower light up the night sky. I had never seen shooting stars so bright or abundant in my life and settled in for a night of stargazing. As I laid back on the white plastic lounge chair, craning my neck up to watch the show, I felt a sharp pain on my thigh. Looking around for an insect to blame for interrupting my tranquillity, I saw a small black rock on the terracotta tiled floor beside me. 'That wasn't there a minute ago, was it?' I asked myself. Picking it up, I noticed it looked charred, like a miniature lump of coal that had fallen from a barbecue. I got up, looking for a plant pot or something that would explain the pea-sized black rock in my palm. Nothing matched it. That's when the brightest shooting star of the night streaked across the sky, disappearing beyond the horizon. It couldn't be, could it? Shooting stars are anything from fragments of asteroids to particles the size of a grain of sand, burning up as they pass through our atmosphere and tonight, there were hundreds of these celestial visitors passing right above me. Without another explanation for the pain radiating through my thigh, I sat back down and squeezed my fist around the small rock and watched its friends fall to the earth. Almost half a lifetime later, on Christmas Day, I get a phone call from my Dad. "Your Grandad has had a stroke." I spent the day alone in my art studio, waiting for updates and trying to process the news. Finally, I got the call that night that he had passed. After refusing the paramedics offer of going to the hospital, he died in his own bed, stubborn and proud to the end. The next day, we drove to my Grandparents house in Whitstable, England, to help my Grandma and do the things I suppose you have to do when a family member passes. Grieve, support, tell stories, remember the good times. My Grandad was always a bit of a mystery to me. He was a heavily tattooed former Navy man, but I only really knew him as the man who would write poems and draw his grandkids bespoke, personalised birthday cards every year. We weren't a close family, seeing them only once, maybe twice a year, but when I did, I wanted to know about his tattoos, art, and poems. I wanted his stories. I didn't realise just how many stories he had until he was gone and we found a locked suitcase under his bed. Upon opening it, we discovered a treasure trove of beautifully handwritten notepads containing stories, poetry, lyrics, diaries and more. We knew he wrote birthday cards for us, but this was a surprise for all of us to find. Why was it hidden, locked away without telling anyone what he was creating? The only answer I can come up with is one that made me sadder than his actual passing. He was afraid to share them for fear of judgement or ridicule. His pride overshadowed the storyteller he kept locked inside, only allowing glimpses of his true self to emerge to make his grandkids smile once a year on their birthdays. I left the next day to travel home, determined to find a way to honour him and not let his legacy stay locked away in a suitcase. If he was too afraid to share his storytelling with the world, then maybe I could do it in his honour. I was already following in his footsteps in some capacity by embracing my artistic side and pursuing a career in that, so maybe I also could write like he did. Perhaps I had a storytelling gene in me too. Only one way to find out. Over the following weeks, I started putting ideas together on what kind of story I could tell. Ever since that summer holiday when I was hit by a shooting star, I had been fascinated by meteorites. It's the kind of thing Stan Lee would be proud of writing, and it seemed like the perfect theme to create a story around. By the time I went to my Grandads funeral, The Prism was already being created, and I was able to smile, knowing that his legacy would have a chance to live through me. To have the name Simmons printed on a book and released for people to read and enjoy will be as much for my Grandad as it is for me. The universe chose to touch me with that small black rock. Something astronomically rare sparked this idea, and my grandad gave me the fuel to help light the fire that grew to become The Prism. After a long, extraordinary, twisting road to get here, I am proud to say that I am now a storyteller like my Grandad. At the edge of California's Mojave Desert, the Ridgecrest Police Station was inundated with calls from panicked locals. For a small town at midnight, this raised concerns with the officers working the night shift. "Hey Chief, we had another call with the same description, a 'rainbow fireball' shooting across the sky. This can't be a coincidence…" By call seven, curiosity had overcome the officers and they stepped outside and looked up at the cloudless sky. To the south-east, much to the officer's amazement, was a faint streak of coloured smoke on the horizon heading straight into the desert. UFO sightings from drunk town members had always been a source of entertainment to local officers, but tonight was different. In the sky above them was proof and they needed to investigate. The officers drove east on the 178 for about fifteen minutes. The cold desert night was lit with a blanket of stars emanating from the Milky Way’s dusty spiral and the bright crescent moon in the distance. The only other source of light for miles around was the headlights from the officer's Ford Interceptor as it streaked through the night, following the direction of the smoke above, like an arrow into the desert. As they got closer to the source of the smoke, a faint glow came into focus. "What the hell is going on?" wondered the bemused officers as they cautiously approached through the desert's scrubland, now on foot, hands perched nervously on their sidearms. A deep crater had formed in the desert surface with debris scattered precariously around, the impact trail etched into the dry, rocky floor for several metres. Approaching the crater's edge, the officers peered in. Through the smoke, they spotted a small rock which stood out with a charred black crust. It was emitting a mysterious, enigmatic glow, with every colour in the spectrum radiating from it, drawing the officers towards it like moths to a flame. The unusual object, faintly dancing with colour through the settling dust, was sitting in the heart of the crater. The mysterious object glowed with an ever changing rainbow of colour. It was hypnotic and the officers took their hands off their firearms and lowered themselves down to get a closer look. As they got close enough to see through the haze, a dazzling light show was clearly radiating off the scorched meteorite. "What is it, Chief?" asked one of the officers. "Some kind of meteorite? I've never seen anything like this before…" The officers leaned in, close enough to feel the meteorite’s warmth on their skin and with eyes transfixed and jaws ajar, one reached out a hand to touch it. A sudden burst of energy emitted from the meteorite which sent the officers flying backwards, throwing them through the air to the crater’s edge ten feet away. The officers lay unconscious against the dirt as the blast of light began to settle and shrink, still radiating with a spectrum of moving colours that seemed to merge and dance like a liquid in the cool night air. The sound of a helicopter overhead broke the silence as the whirring blades rotated with a rhythmic hum as it got closer. "Down there, there's something… glowing. I can see headlights too, someone’s already down there." The pilot's words sent a surge of curiosity through Dr. Arthur Kinsey, sitting in the back in a smart tweed jacket and grasping a carbon fibre cane in his hands. The grey-haired man looked through the window to the same glowing impact site below and with a slight adjustment of his jacket and an excited squeeze of his cane, instructed the pilot in a soft English accent to put the helicopter down as close to the crater as possible. CRADLE emblazoned at the top, below which were their names Lawrie and Ryptik. The young scientists had been working Stateside on a collaborative project with NASA when Arthur visited. Hours earlier, Arthur had taken a tour of the facility with them as they briefed him on their project. Now they were on a helicopter assisting Arthur on a ‘top-secret’ mission. Looking out at the desert below, they both wondered what Arthur needed them for and how they were going to be able to help. "Ready chaps? When we land, follow my lead. Bring the digital scanning equipment to map the impact site and any other gadgets you boys have that could help us understand this situation better." As the helicopter touched down onto the desert floor and the rotors began to slow, the dust kicked up by their landing created a fog that billowed out and disappeared into the sparse, flat desert around them. Holding a silk handkerchief to his mouth, Arthur lowered himself down the steps of the helicopter and touched down with both feet and his cane on the dry, rocky ground. Looking back at the two younger scientists, Arthur pulled his handkerchief from his mouth. "Never go anywhere without one" he said with a subtle wink. Pulling it back across his mouth, Arthur walked forward through the settling dust towards the crater twenty feet in front of them. On the edge of the crater, Arthur put both hands on his cane for support. His eyes lit up at the scene before him. The meteorite was now clearly visible, still glimmering with a spectrum of colours. Arthur’s heart skipped a beat at the possibilities of what this strange object could be. His focus was only broken when he noticed the two unfortunate police officers lying unconscious on the floor with burn marks on their hands. A screen of pale blue light suddenly projected from a machine set up by the two younger scientists, digitally mapping and scanning the landing site. With the analysis completed in a matter of seconds, Arthur told Lawrie and Ryptik to check on the officers and to avoid touching the meteorite. Arthur pulled out his phone and flipped over the monogrammed case with CRADLE embossed into the black leather. It was now 1am in the cold desert morning and Arthur checked the time in London. Swiping back to his contact list, Arthur tried making a call. ‘Damn, no answer, he’s probably not even at the office yet’ he thought as he looked around at the emptiness of the moonlit Mojave. Trying a different approach, Arthur called CRADLE's London headquarters. "Yes, good morning, this is Director Kinsey. I need to speak to Isaac Wells immediately…" Isaac's eyes snapped open as his head bounced off the glass window of the London Underground Jubilee train. The loud screech from the metal rails as the train cornered a bend drowned out the dull noise of the carriages and caused Isaac to grimace. Blinking his eyes and acclimatising himself to his surroundings, Isaac looked at the swathe of commuters waiting on the platform that they were slowing down to stop at. 'London Bridge, two more stops', thought Isaac as he rubbed his forehead and watched the commuters get on the train. Looking down, Isaac watched the shuffling feet of passengers finding their seats as he pulled out his phone. Checking his messages, he saw a new email from Arthur, which he tapped on to open. 'Damn, no signal down here', he said to himself as he tried to download the file. Putting the phone back in his pocket, Isaac picked up a folded copy of the mornings Metro newspaper. Today's front page was once again linked to a spate of crime and strange phenomena happening in London. 'Menacing Met-X Mutants Make Mischief In Marylebone' read the headline. 'What a mouthful', he thought as he ripped out the article and folded it up, pocketing it to read back at CRADLE. 'Another article for the wall of weird', he thought as he looked around at the interior of the carriage. Graffiti tags were scrawled and scratched into the walls and windows, reflecting what was happening in London over recent years. The train screeched again as it rounded a corner towards Southwark, stopping and letting on a new group of travellers. Isaac pulled out his phone again to reread Arthurs text message. 'Get your team together. I've found something in the desert that you need to see to believe. Arthur.' Isaac must have read this message over and over a hundred times now. The new email coming through only added to his anxiety to discover what Arthur was talking about. As the train pulled into Waterloo Station, Isaac quickly got up and headed to the door. Zipping up his Parka coat, Isaac waited for the doors to open before slipping out ahead of the other morning commuters and quickly walked to the escalators to beat the crowd exiting the station. The cold skies over London were swirling with different shades of grey as Isaac zigzagged past people walking to work and headed towards Southbank. As Isaac walked past The Royal Festival Hall, he pulled out his phone to try and download Arthurs email. 'Why is the signal so bad around here' he thought as the file began to slowly download. Turning right onto Southbank, Isaac continued to look down, watching the percentage number of the download increase. 'Almost there', he said to himself as he watched the download bar hit 90%. Before Isaac had realised what happened, he was looking down at the concrete floor. An ache spread across his shoulder as he turned around to see the man who had knocked him down walk away. Dressed in a white suit white, the stranger stood out from the other people walking past. Turning his head to look back at Isaac, the stranger's pale features contrasted the dark eyes shot a piercing, emotionless look down at him before turning and walking away. As he disappeared into the distance, Isaac slowly turned back. Realising his phone had been knocked out of his hand, Isaac looked around on the floor for it. "Damn it!" he said out loud as he looked down to the concrete floor at the phones smashed screen. Broken glass distorted the glitching graphics as Isaac tapped it in vain. Picking up the phone and assessing the damage, Isaac stood up and slipped the broken phone into his jacket pocket. "Another thing for Kenzi to fix," he said to himself. Rubbing his shoulder, he saw someone on an electric scooter swerve around a group of people and head straight for him. Dodging out of the way, Isaac spun around and found himself leaning against a set of metal railings, looking into the colourful, street art adorned walls of the skatepark. Among the melange of colour, graffiti and concrete ramps, Isaac spotted a small wall painted red with a stencil of a single white chess pawn. 'I've seen this before somewhere else', he mused as he looked at the painting, trying to remember where he had seen this symbol and what it might mean. A few meters away, a couple of young tourists were taking photos of the graffiti, and Isaac overheard them mentioning the same piece that had caught his gaze. "If that's a new Banksy, I don't understand it," said one of them before taking a final photo and walking away. Isaac pushed himself off the railings and continued walking past the skatepark. Looking up, Isaac could see the CRADLE building towering over the surrounding area just beyond Waterloo Bridge. Isaac rolled his shoulder, feeling more frustrated from not opening Arthur's email than having a smashed phone. Passing under Waterloo Bridge, Isaac looked up at the tall building. Large triangular glass panels reflecting the monochromatic skies above lined the building's exterior, which Isaac called home as he headed towards the entrance. Underneath a large set of chunky white letters spelling out the CRADLE logo were the words Creative Research And Development Laboratory Enterprise, backlit with a soft blue light above the glass entrance. 'Time to get some answers', he thought to himself as he walked inside. Clara slammed a drawer in her desk closed as she heard a noise at her door. A tall shadowed figure stood behind the frosted glass doors, and with her heart beginning to race, she turned a key to lock the drawer. The door hissed open, and Clara let out a sigh of relief as she saw Isaac standing there with his hand on the digital fingerprint scanner. Slipping the key into her trouser pocket and closing her laptop screen, Clara stood up and walked towards Isaac. "You don't usually get here this early," she said as she saw her friend walk in. "Coffee?" She asked, seeing Isaac standing there, still in his long green Parka coat. "Arthur left me a message," he said. Clara picked up a mug and pressed a button on her espresso machine, which began to whir into life, filling the office with the smell of fresh coffee. "Let me guess, get the team together," she asked. "Yeh, pretty much. And caramel latte if you are making one, it's too early for some of us," said Isaac, rubbing his eyes. "He sent an email too, which I think has information for us to go over before he arrives later." Clara picked up another mug as she asked, "Can I seen it?" Isaac pulled out the smashed phone and showed Clara. "Another one? For someone who invents as many things as you do, you sure do break a lot of them. How about asking Kenzi to help you build a phone that you can't break." Isaac laughed as he took the coffee from Clara. "Have you seen Kenzi this morning? Is he in yet?" Asked Isaac. Clara held up the mug to her chin, smelling the fresh coffee. "You know most of us get here at nine every day, right?" She joked before taking a sip and feeling her heart rate calm down. Isaac had always been a calming presence in her life since their days together at university. Looking back at her desk, she hoped Isaac hadn't noticed anything. "I work better at night," said Isaac unapologetically, taking a sip of his sweet coffee. "But Arthur's message was too intriguing. I had to come in. Clearly, I'm not good at this time as things like this happen." Isaac looked down at his phone again as he put the broken device back in his pocket. "Last I heard, Kenzi was working on something in the engineering department, we don't fix phones in the Biochem labs," said Clara, teasing Isaac, who was closing his eyes as he breathed in the aroma of his coffee. "Let's head over there together, make sure you don't break anything else on the way," she said. Isaac smiled and headed back into the hallway. Looking back into her lab, Clara tucked her auburn hair behind her ear and, with a few taps on the digital keypad outside the door, locked her lab. As they walked towards the elevator to head down to the engineering department, Clara put one hand in her pocket and rolled the key between her fingers as she contemplated sharing her project with him. Looking up at her tall friend, she tried to imagine how he would react to her research. 'Not yet', she thought. Fire alarms blared across the engineering department as smoke filled the back of the hangar-like space. Clara and Isaac got out of the elevator to hear the commotion and quickly ran towards the large entrance to see engineers running around and clouds of fire extinguishers being used at the far end of the cavernous space. Kenzi spotted Clara and Isaac running through the large glass entrance with concerned looks on their faces. "Everything is fine, don't worry", shouted Kenzi, walking calmly towards his friends. Taking off his protective plastic hard hat and brushing his messy black hair out of his face, he made it to Isaac and Clara just as the alarms stopped ringing. "Little mishap testing the weapons system on a new prototype vehicle," he said as he bent down to tie one of the laces on his bright blue converse. The smoke began to clear at the far end of the double-height space, which stretched across two floors of the CRADLE building. Engineers began assessing the damage and checking on the other machines in the area. With the sirens now off, the usual sounds of mechanical whirring and beeping came back into focus. "A little early to blow up part of CRADLE, isn't it Kenzi?" joked Clara, relieved to see the situation under control. "A little early for Isaac to be here, you mean", quipped Kenzi, standing up and straightening his matching blue bow tie and smiling at Isaac. "Nothing a coffee and a fire alarm can't fix," said Isaac, lifting his mug up sarcastically and smiling back at Kenzi. "Besides, Arthur has found something in the Mojave and told me to get the team together before he arrives later." "Arthur is quite the tease," said Kenzi. "And that's all he said?" "Well, he sent me something to analyse, but this happened before I could download it." Isaac pulled out the smashed phone and handed it to Kenzi. "Another one?" Said Kenzi, turning the phone over in his hands and assessing the damage. "That's what I said too," said Clara, nudging Isaac and smiling. "Hai, yes, I can fix it," said Kenzi, speaking quickly and letting a bit of his native Japanese slip into the conversation as he often did. The trio headed over towards a set of stairs leading up to the department's mezzanine level, housing rows of smaller labs and offices. As Kenzi walked out in front, he was already getting to work on the broken phone, using a small tool he pulled from his pocket to release the damaged glass. "Damn, screens damaged inside too," he muttered to himself with his head down, walking and tinkering as he rounded the corner towards his private lab. As the trio entered, Kenzi walked to one of his long work tables and placed Isaac's glitching device down. While Kenzi got to work, Clara looked around at the myriad of gadgets, computer screens and walls of tools laid out meticulously. Isaac, on the other hand, was drawn to something on Kenzi's desk. Picking up a piece of material hooked up to a selection of wires, Isaac ran his fingers across the mesh of different substances sandwiched together. "Is it almost ready?" He asked Kenzi, tracing the wires back to a power unit with his fingertips. "Almost," said Kenzi, looking through a toolbox. Picking up a tiny screwdriver and pushing it into the device, the sim card popped out, and Kenzi placed the broken phone next to a pile of other broken gadgets and robotics that needed electronic surgery. Moving to another section of his lab, Kenzi pulled out a box and opened it up. Taking out the new phone, Kenzi installed the sim card and handed it over to Isaac. Stepping away from the cluster of wires and fabric, Isaac accepted the sleek device from Kenzi and began to inspect it. "Looks just like the other one," he said, feeling the matte black stainless steel casing engraved with the CRADLE logo and watching the glass front come to life and seeing his familiar home screen. "Looks can be deceiving," said Kenzi, who swiped the screen to show Isaac a new set of app icons that weren't on his old phone. "Please, open Arthur's email." Said Kenzi, gesturing to Isaac. "I will demonstrate a trick this new device can do." Isaac swiped into his emails and clicked the download button again. This time, the file downloaded instantly, and the trio saw several files pop up on the screen. "As I suspected," said Kenzi. "I gave Arthur the same device before he left for America. He is using the new technology I developed for it. Isaac, please select the first file." Tapping the icon on the screen, a holographic image began to hover above the phone, almost making Isaac drop the new device out of surprise. "Maybe put it down on the table for this part," said Clara, watching on intently as a projection of the Mojave landing site came to life before their eyes. Isaac put the phone down on Kenzi's desk as they all crowded around to study the detailed hologram. The small scrub brushes looked real enough to touch as they dotted around the digital sand surrounding the impact site in the middle of the projection. Using a hand gesture, Kenzi was able to zoom in on this part of the image and see the impact site more closely. On one side of the crater, two unconscious American police officers lay slumped on the ground. Zooming in further, they spotted what Arthur had been talking about. Isaac looked up at Clara and Kenzi, almost dropping his coffee as he stepped back. "What the hell is that?!” In the control room for reactor number four, Yuri's concerns were quickly turning into a nightmare. As the minute hand ticked over to 1:23am, alarms began to ring out across the facility as the horrified technicians realised their mistake. The routine safety test he was brought in to oversee had caused something to go drastically wrong, and, within seconds, the nuclear chain reaction began to escalate out of control. "Nyet, Nyet!" Shouted Yuri as he realised the magnitude of the situation. "Out, everybody out!" 'I need to warn Anya,' thought Yuri, desperately trying to dial through on the phone to his wife's department. The reactor's fuel rods blasted apart as the cooling system's water burst into steam. Without the heavy concrete and steel shells that Yuri was so adamant that these reactors should have, there was little defence from the ensuing explosion. The roof was blasted off as the explosion scattered contents of the reactor across the building. Radioactive shrapnel rained down, littering the surrounding area. As the fire raged out of control from what was left of the graphite core of reactor four, Yuri screamed out for Anya. As the other technicians ran for their lives, a cloud of radioactive iodine-131 from the two hundred tonnes of nuclear fuel housed spread through the power plant, giving the scientists and technicians lethal doses of radiation within minutes. Yuri, alone in the control room, was still desperately trying to connect to the rooms below in a desperate attempt to get hold of Anya. The phone rang and rang with no answer, and Yuri prayed that she had managed to escape already. Letting out a roar of frustration and fear as the phone lines cut out, Yuri realised he had to get out of the facility and pray Anya had done the same. As he began to run from the control room, a cloud of nuclear particles spread through the air from the enriched plutonium and uranium leaking out. As he ran, Yuri hoped he would find Anya safely free from the hell that now surrounded them. Below the control room that Yuri was fleeing, an unearthly radioactive ooze began to spread like lava. The molten fuel rods, concrete and metal had melted together in the inferno, which now raged through the cavernous reactor. Yuri escaped through the smoke and nuclear haze, making it to the facilities exit where some of the lucky engineers had already made it. "Ana!" He shouted desperately, looking for his beloved amongst the smouldering rubble. Other scientists were laid out on the floor coughing and spluttering as the air above them filled with radioactive smoke through the collapsed roof. Yuri looked desperately for Ana, praying she had made it out before him. With no sight of his beloved wife, Yuri felt a hand on his shoulders pulling him away. "Nyet! Anya! Nyet!" “…Father?" The hand on his shoulder felt heavier now, shaking and gripping. "Nyet… Nyet…" "…Father? It's just a dream…" Yuri rubbed his weary eyes, realising where he was. Feeling his daughters hand on his shoulder, he felt a sense of relief. "Chernobyl again?" asked Tatiana. "Da. Every time I lose her all over again, and it feels as real as the night it happened." Looking down through his blurry eyes at the device on his arm, Yuri felt his blood pumping through the modified dialysis machine. Sitting upright in his oxblood leather armchair, Yuri rolled his neck from side to side, feeling it click as his strength began to return to his body. "Father, there has been a sighting. Reports are coming in of a meteorite strike in America." Yuri looked over at the wall of monitors and tv screens filling an entire wall of his office. A number of the screens switched from security cameras to different television news reports, all showing a similar set of videos. Phone footage of a rainbow cloud streaking across the night sky above the Mojave desert had news reporters speculating what it could be. Yuri's eyes widened, watching the reporters talking over each other as the videos continued to play behind them in news studios worldwide. "I am leaving to investigate myself", said Tatiana. "The jet is being prepared. I leave within the hour. If it is what we hope, I will retrieve it for you." Looking up at his tall daughter standing beside him, Yuri saw Anya's beauty and determination etched on Tatiana's porcelain face. Yuri nodded as he turned back to the wall of screens. "Rook can handle things in my absence, and Bishop will stay by your side. We will find a cure for you," she said, looking down at the pipes hooked up to her father, pumping the crimson liquid into his arm. Yuri looked to his side, picking up a piece from the ornate chess set that was mid-game. Holding the white Queen in his hands, he rolled it between his fingers and studied the board. 'What move would The Grandmaster want me to make next?' He thought to himself. Kissing the crown on top of the piece, he moved it diagonally into a vacant square. Tatiana waited for Yuri to place the piece and sit back before kissing him gently on the forehead before turning and leaving the room. As she pulled open a large mahogany door, she saw the tall hooded figure of Bishop standing on the landing outside. Nodding at him to enter, Tatiana walked towards the stairs and left. Closing them behind him as he entered, the heavy wooden doors creaked shut. With an awkward, staggered gait, Bishop walked towards Yuri, who was now switching back and forth between channels on the different screens. Moving behind Yuri's chair, Bishop turned off the dialysis machine and, without saying a word, began to carefully remove the needles in Yuri's arms. "Have you seen this?" Asked Yuri, transfixed by the news and hopeful that it could be the missing piece he needs. Bishop nodded, breathing deeply through a mechanical apparatus that covered his lower jaw. "This could be what we need to complete the Grandmasters work," he said, looking up at Bishop, who towered over him in long robes. Touching the top of Bishop's namesake piece and spinning the ornately carved ivory on the board, Yuri turned his attention back to the news reports on the screens. "You know, in 1987, they kept the meteorite strike over Moscow hidden. Told the news it was a failed missile launch. Now everyone has a camera in their pocket." Yuri coughed, feeling the clean blood back in his body always made him feel groggy before his energy picked up again. Bishop turned and walked towards an art deco style bar set up in Yuri's large living quarters and prepared a drink for his mentor. "They brought my team the meteorite the next morning, glowing crimson red like flowing blood trapped within rock." Bishop handed Yuri a drink, who took a sip before continuing. "I kept my cancer hidden. They wouldn't have let me continue working at the facility if they had known. Malnourished from grieving Anya was the common theory I let them believe. I spent a year researching cures in secret, but nothing worked. I was scared of Tatiana becoming an orphan so young. Then a gift from the skies was brought in with a military escort. They wanted to militarise it somehow, extract its energy, make bombs. Fools." Yuri paused to finish his drink before handing the glass back to Bishop. "They would have never let me explore medicinal qualities on it. The true potential of it would have been lost on them or destroyed by lesser minds. I had to get Tatiana and the meteorite out so I could continue my work in private." Yuri paused for a moment, overcome with a sense of frustration as he recounted the story to Bishop. Balling his hand into a fist, he slammed it on the red leather armrest of the chair, causing the red liquid in the tanks to shake and glow red, illuminating the bookshelves behind him. "Clearly, I only prolonged my suffering." Standing up now, Yuri rolled his neck and shoulders, feeling the treatment begin to work and give him back his strength. Bishop picked up Yuri's walking stick, silently offering it to him, but Yuri refused, feeling strong enough to walk around without it. "The treatment gives me strength for a few days. Let me enjoy that before needing that stick and going through this whole ordeal again soon." Moving his attention from the news reports about the 'Mystery Mojave Meteorite' as reporters were dubbing it, Yuri stepped back and focussed on the other set of screens. Live camera feeds from different parts of his facility showed scientists and engineers working in different labs. Several camera angles seemed to be coming from high above London and moving across the city. Yuri watched them all, flicking his gaze between different feeds and absorbing the information. Walking back to the chess set beside his chair, Yuri picked up the white horse piece and turned to Bishop. "Any news from Knight?" He asked. Bishop nodded slowly before unfolding his arms and reaching out a hand towards Yuri. Placing three fingers to the side of Yuri's forehead, he began to communicate directly into his mentor's mind. "Knight has informed me that the drug is becoming weaker. Clients are growing restless. The mutations are wearing off quicker." Taking his hand off Yuri's head, his voice went silent, and he returned to folding his arms as he awaited a response. Putting a hand up to his head, Yuri closed his eyes and felt a dull pain from Bishop's telepathic message began to ease. "It's a good job that I've got used to you communicating this way," he said as he looked up at Bishop. Two faint dots of red flickered in Bishops eyes after using his ability to convey the message. Yuri paced, pondering the implications of a weakened Met-X drug and how he would communicate this to The Grandmaster. Looking again at the video footage of the rainbow cloud being portrayed on the various news channels, Yuri knew he had to find this new meteorite before it was too late. 'Hurry, Tatiana', he thought to himself, thinking of his daughter flying there to investigate. 'Return with a gift for The Grandmaster'. “The Prism is a must read for all lovers of sci fi, superheroes and a scintillating story. Rich encapsulates his love of the all these elements and brings a story of justice, love and truth out of the page and into your minds, with a sprinkling of out of this world magic intertwined in real life London to keep readers from teenage upwards riveted throughout, leaving them wanting more. Can't wait for the next installment!” GRACE VON SIN "Rich has a way of setting the scene so well that it makes you feel you're in the room with the characters. The story kept me intrigued from the beginning. Sci-fi has a new superhero, his name is Rich Simmons." MARK GRIEF "Simmons combines his deep knowledge for science with his creative genius to tell the origin story of the Prism – relatable, believable and inspiring for its readers. It would make a great graphic novel and I can't wait to see the story unfold." JESSIE COHEN "Reading, for many people like me with a learning disability can be a sort of taboo subject and purposely avoided. Being able to understand the language, feel the writers story and allow my imagination to paint the scene was always an impossible challenge until THE PRISM! This captivating and emotionally gripping sci-fi novel had me continuously hooked from the first page and I can't wait for more. Rich Simmons has skilfully mastered the art of breaking through my taboo fears and managed to make the enjoyment of reading accessible for the masses. He is the true hero of this story!" HEATHER DENTON “I like very much the visual component of The Prism, which I have always considered a fantastic wonder of nature. The connection between a meteorite found decades past with a shadowy drug in the present is a very interesting hook also. I am anxious to continue this series and discover where the plot leads next for our intrepid scientists. Now that I have read your story completely through, I can say it was a thoroughly enjoyable tale. The characters are well-developed with their own motivations and alliances, yet you still provide surprises at key points throughout to keep the reader engaged and wondering what might happen next. The pacing is good as well with the narrative gaining intensity and urgency at about mid-point and proceeding briskly. Within the structure of a mystery you have included elements of plausible science, science fiction, spy thrillers, and superhero genres. As I type this I have close at hand a very dear book from my childhood called "Tom Swift and His Tripihibian Atomicar" from 1962. This series provided hours of enjoyment for my generation, and you have captured much of the same experience for a modern audience.” ROCKY PARSONS Waiting in a dark alley behind an office block, Carnegie checked his phone every few seconds like a nervous, twitching metronome. Even with his hood up, his faded white hair brushed across his forehead as the wind picked up. Leaning his skinny body against a large recycling bin, he rechecked his phone. His hands were thin, pale and looked far too withered for a man his age as he swiped on his phone to check the screen in case Knight had replied. Only two months ago, he had been working in an office, had a partner to go home to and a child on the way. Carnegie looked across the alley to a broken mirror that leaned against a brick wall. Pushing his anxious, broken body off the skip, Carnegie shuffled his feet over to get a better look at himself. His once dark hair and olive skin were now a sickly pale grey. His once handsome face and sharp cheekbones now sagged with more cracks in his complexion than the broken mirror he was staring into. "Why did she have to die?" he said to himself under his breath. "Why couldn't I stop it. It should have been me. I will make this right, no matter how many attempts it takes." Carnegie opened his phone's gallery and looked at photos of his girlfriend, swiping to an image of an ultrasound from the last scan they had been to together. After swiping through several more shots, he stopped at a screenshot of a news article. 'Pregnant woman pinned under collapsed construction site tragically dies.' Carnegie stopped breathing for a moment, re-reading the headline over and over, remembering that fateful day. The smell of concrete and rubble filled his senses again, vividly remembering how he tried to pull off the twisted scaffold poles and rubble to get to his love. 'I wasn't strong enough,' he thought as he remembers the police pulling him away. 'I should have saved her.' Swiping away from that news article, he found himself looking at a photo of another news piece about Met-X. 'London's growing mutant problem fuelled by mystery drug' read the article. Before he could read further, Knight's voice made him spin around, almost dropping the phone from his boney hands. "Do you have it?" asked Carnegie, an urgency cracking his voice as he walked forwards. "If you didn't pay over the odds for this, I wouldn't keep fuelling your demise. There are others more deserving of this elixir than you," said Knight, a sense of bitterness etched in his words as he spoke through clenched teeth. The cracked mirror in the alley reflected two very different men from the first time they met just six weeks prior. Knight admired Carnegie at first. Well dressed, handsome, taller than Knight when he stood with a straight back and, despite the obvious sadness in his eyes, Knight felt the drug would be used to give help Carnegie achieve some kind of hidden ambition. With his back now hunched over and with a hood covering his withered pale face, Carnegie was looking up towards Knight, who looked down with a disappointed pity. Carnegie opened his wallet and pulled out a large wad of cash. Knight’s tattooed hand reached out and took the money, placing the briefcase on the floor before counting the dirty notes and slipping it inside his jacket pocket. Pulling out a packet of cigarettes, Knight took his time selecting one and placing it between his lips before carefully lighting it. Carnegie stood frozen, anxiously waiting as he watched Knight exhale smoke. Knight enjoyed this part of the transaction, taking his time to read his counterparts and toying with their emotions like a cat playing with a mouse before making the fatal blow. Knight picked up the briefcase and moved over to a stack of wooden pallets, where he unlocked the case and released the red glow. The graffiti on the alley’s concrete walls basked in an ominous crimson glow as Knight pulled out two full syringes before closing the metallic case. The red light now emanated from Knights hand as he looked down at Carnegie. "I have a feeling this might be the last time I see you," said Knight as he handed Carnegie the Met-X. "Double doses can't be sustained and you are clearly on a one-way path to your own destruction. Try not to take too many others out on your way." Knight pulled the briefcase from the pile of wooden pallets, took one last disdainful look at Carnegie and turned to walk away. As he put his hand up to take the cigarette from his lips, he shook his head as smoke exhaled from his mouth. “What a waste”, he thought as he threw the cigarette butt into a puddle and turned the corner. Pulling out his phone, Knight sent a text to a contact with just a red siren icon as the name. Swiping to share his current location, Knight added two eyes with the word 'now' before closing his phone and continuing on his way. Carnegie now stood alone in the alley, looking down at the two glowing syringes in his hand. As he looked up at the cracked mirror, he saw himself reflected back in multiple shards, and each one looked more desperate with every crack. The glow disappeared as he pocketed the syringes as he headed deeper into the alley to a door that was held ajar by a discarded brick. Turning a corner inside the building, Carnegie headed towards a staircase and began to climb. With every step, his heart began beat harder with the exertion and it felt heavier in his chest. As he continued to rise, he gripped the syringes in his hoody pocket tighter as his weakened body ascended floor by floor until reaching a fire escape at the top of the stairs. Walking out, Carnegie found himself on the roof . He walked to the edge, looking down from the seven-floor building at the streets below. The sound of traffic rumbled below as the grey skies broke to reveal slithers of pale blue with sharp rays of light. The cold grey rooftop was suddenly basked in sunlight as the swirling skies broke overhead and Carnegie felt a wave of warmth wash over his pale skin. Pulling out one of the syringes, the deep crimson glow from the alley now shone a brighter, vivid red in the light. Carnegie rolled his head back and closed his eyes to feel the warmth as he pulled up a sleeve. Putting the syringe to his mouth, he calmly bit the plastic lid from the end and spat it on the floor, revealing the sharp metallic tip. Squeezing his fist to find a vein, he pushed the needle into his arm and injected the Met-X. A familiar burning sensation washed over his body and made him drop to his knees, clenching both fists and trying to fight through the initial reaction. A blinding pain quickly emerged as he felt every muscle begin to tighten into a full-body cramp as the mutation took hold. Muscles cracked and stretched as they grew exponentially. He felt as if his entire skeleton was moving under the pressure of the growing muscles which now filled out his once baggy hoody, making him look more like a bodybuilder than a junkie. As he opened his eyes and pushed himself off the ground, the warmth he felt was no longer the sun which had moved behind a cloud, but the sweat dripping from his burning flesh as the expansion of his body had made his skin feel as if it would rip if he moved too fast. Carnegie felt his heart rate start to slow as the wave of pain began to subside, as he got used to the new body he found himself inhabiting. He felt strong. How he wished he had been the night of the tragic accident that took his partner. He slowly walked forwards, rolling his shoulders as he felt the large muscles settle into place and feel more natural. Standing on the edge of the rooftop, he looked down at the busy streets of London. As the drug continued to pulse through his veins, Carnegie twitched as he felt an unbearable urge to use his temporary abilities. He closed his eyes, hiding the flickering red that flashed through his irises beneath his eyelids as he remembered the first times he had taken the drug. Fits of rage had ruined the previous experiences as he battled with grief, taking his powers out on himself. Running into traffic, hoping to be hit and end his pain, had only resulted in cars bouncing off him and jumping off Tower Bridge into the Thames had no effect besides leaving him with wet, cold clothes after the drug had worn off hours later. As he stood here now, Carnegie calmed himself as he fought off the twitching fibres in his muscles. Screams from the street below filtered up to the roof. Carnegie’s eyes opened widely, looking desperately for the source. Obscured slightly from view, he began to make out scores of panicking people running away from something he couldn’t see. The sounds of distant sirens now became apparent, growing louder and louder. Gunshots now ripped through the air, causing more screams. Carnegie ran to the side of the building and jumped down, landing on a roof below. He continued to run, jumping onto a fire escape on the edge of the adjacent building and dropping down to the alley below, where he ran into the street in the opposite direction from the fleeing pedestrians. Carnegie quickly found himself at the centre of the commotion and discovered the pandemonium was coming from a bank. As he looked around for the police , he heard screams inside the building and further gunshots. A blue haze of flashing lights drew closer to the bank. Before they or anyone could stop him, Carnegie ran inside. Almost immediately he was met by a balaclava-wearing thug, who he quickly tackled against a wall, knocking him out instantly. The sound of bodies crashing into a wall drew the attention of the other men inside. Carnegie had to quickly push himself off the first man and dodge a sledgehammer that was now swinging towards him. As the head of the hammer crashed into the tiled floor, Carnegie pulled it from the masked assailant and hit him in the ribs, knocking him down. Gripping the sledgehammer tightly, Carnegie walked further into the bank where he saw several scared hostages cowering on the floor and several more balaclava-wearing individuals who turned their attention towards him. Behind the masked men stood two more individuals that instantly stood out. Unarmed and unmasked, the two men looked at Carnegie with flickering red eyes, almost amused at his audacity . One of them was younger, and despite his ghostly pale skin and short white spiked hair, Carnegie could tell he was Asian. Wearing a white jumpsuit with sleeves rolled up, Carnegie could see that his body was heavily tattooed with red ink designs as dragons swirled through skulls, clouds and water. The other man was significantly older, shorter, just as pale, but far more muscular with a white stubble beard and bald head. 'Met-X' thought Carnegie as all five of the remaining men locked eyes with him. "Let the hostages go", demanded Carnegie, his fingers twitching as he watched the men in front of him, waiting for someone to do something. The older man laughed and elbowed the younger man in the ribs as they watched Carnegie confront them. "Hey Guǐ, looks like we've got a hero, and judging by his eyes, a fellow user. Boys, show this traitor how we treat people who turn their back on The Grandmaster." As one of the masked men lifted a shotgun, Carnegie threw the sledgehammer forward and dived for cover behind a small marble partition. The sledgehammer knocked the gunman down, causing him to shoot into the ceiling as he fell back. Dust and debris fell from the ceiling as the other two henchmen lifted their weapons and began to fire into the marble wall. Dust fell from the ceiling as debris flew up as bullets crashed into the smokey grey patterns on the marble. The sound of sirens outside was now drowned out by gunfire and bullets breaking against the stone. Carnegie sprung from the other side of the small, damaged wall and dived forward to tackle the gunmen from the side, like a big cat attacking its prey. His new strength allowed him to jump high above them, dodging the trail of bullets, crashing into them from, sending them both into an unconscious heap on the ground. The two unmasked men stepped forward now, confronting Carnegie, who had recovered the sledgehammer from the ground and was getting back to his feet. With their focus now fully on him, Carnegie signalled to the handful of hostages to get out of the bank. "Go, now!" he shouted, pointing at the bank's entrance behind him. As the hostages got up and ran towards the door, the taller of the men began to lift his hands, twitching his fingers as pieces of the broken marble began to rise into the air around Carnegie. "Show him why you are a ghost, Guǐ," said the older man who took a step back. “Róngxìng. With Pleasure.” Guǐ’s tattooed arms shot forward, directing a barrage of levitating debris towards Carnegie. Carnegie swung his sledgehammer as fast as he could around him, beating away some of the larger chunks, but smaller, sharper pieces broke through and cracked into his body. Letting out a cry of anguish, Carnegie dropped the sledgehammer and fell to his knees. Blood began to flow from a slew of cuts that now decorated his body as he gasped for air. As Carnegie tried to catch his breath, he looked up to see the older man's arms begin to glow orange. Guǐ moved out the way and let the older man step forward as the orange colour began to pulse through his chest and hands like lava flowing beneath his skin. Carnegie began to feel the heat radiating from his body as the colours grew brighter and more intense. "Let me show you why they call me Pyroxene", he said as his whole body began to glow like an erupting volcano, burning all the hair off his skin and creating a toxic smell of burnt hair and sulphur in the bank. Guǐ stepped forward again after recovering his energy, but kept his distance from the heat of his older mentor. "Zhǔnbèi hǎo. Ready when you are", said Guǐ, looking over at Pyroxene, whose face looked to be in agony as the heat overwhelmed his body. Thrusting out his arms, the skin on Pyroxene’s body seemed to liquefy and become molten lava. Letting out a roar of pain, he clenched his fists tightly together and the lava surrounding his skin began to crystallise under pressure. As long shards of black crystal began to grow, Pyroxene opened his eyes, now glowing an intense red, as his body’s lava glow had now cooled leaving his skin black and charred. Moving his arms and throwing a fist forwards, the shiny black crystals began to break free from his arms and hurtle towards Carnegie. Diving backwards, Carnegie's beaten, bloodied body narrowly missed a large crystal that smashed into the remains of the marble wall behind him. Guǐ now used his abilities to lift one of the crystals and aim it towards Carnegie from above, who dodged out of the way again. The large crystal smashed into the tiled floor just inches from where he had landed as he continued to roll backwards. Getting back to his feet, Carnegie saw the two men in front of him team up to create one last black crystal, the size of a baseball bat that emerged from the hands of Pyroxene and thrust forwards with more force by Guǐ's telekinetic abilities. Before he could move out of the way, the large crystal hurtled directly towards Carnegie's chest, which he attempted to catch and stop the impact, but the force and weight of the projectile sent him crashing through the bank's windows to the street outside. A sea of blue flashing lights filled the street outside the bank as police cars blocked off the area. Laying in the street surrounded by broken glass, Carnegie began to stir from the force of the impact. His heart beat fast and hard, hurting the inside of his chest like a hammer blow with every pulse of meteorite infused blood that flowed through his body. The effects of the drug was now wearing off and he began to feel every cut and impact from the fight. People watched on from behind the barricade of fluorescent yellow police cars and officers, whose bright yellow jackets appeared green under the flashing blue lights atop their cars. As Carnegie lay there, one officer ran forward to check on him. Holding his chest tightly, Carnegie grimaced as he saw the officer kneel over him. Looking up at his name badge, Carnegie spoke to officer Blanc. "Are the hostages safe?" he asked. The officer looked down and said, "Yes, they're all safe." Smiling through the pain, Carnegie closed his eyes and said, "I saved them, now I get to see you again." As his arms slumped to his side, Carnegie's body was now back to its original size and the red light from his eyes faded to darkness. As the officer checked Carnegie for a pulse, he also checked his pockets, pulled out the remaining syringe of Met-X, and pocketed it. Looking over at the other officers, Blanc signalled them to swarm the bank. As armed officers ran past Blanc, he switched the frequency on his radio and made a call to someone.

By using iconic superheroes, I hope people question their actions as heroes and see that this aspect of their identity far outweighs who they choose to love and how they wish to identify. Christopher Reeve, who famously portrayed Superman, once said, "What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power, but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely." READ THE FULL BLOG POST Hand-signed Silkscreen Limited edition artwork by Rich Simmons. Inspired by his love of 1950s comic books, Rich Simmons combines classic pop art and modern street art to create artwork which provokes thought and challenges expectations. In ‘Reflections (Between the Capes)’, the artist frames his well-known image of Batman kissing Superman as a reflection in the woman’s glasses. He builds a narrative using the composition of the piece, showing us the scene from her perspective. Working with bold, primary shades of red, blue and yellow, Simmons crafts an eye-catching work that draws the eye to each detail. From the woman’s tears to her vibrant red lips, we are encouraged to ponder her emotional response to the sight before her. Simmons names Leonardo da Vinci as one of his biggest influences and employs the Fibonacci spiral in each of his artworks to create perfect balance and harmony in each piece he creates. Combining the bold black lines associated with pop art with the hand-stencilled designs of graffiti, ‘Reflections (Between the Capes)’ introduces street art concepts into the home.

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.

CREATESCENE ART IS THE CURE THE PRISM

Rich Simmons is a Contemporary Urban Pop Artist from London who specialises in stencils and has exhibited all over the world. QUINTESTENCIL THE ART OF RICH SIMMONS APRIL 2023 - LONDON Rich Simmons is leading the next wave of artists pushing a new era of Modern Pop Art. Inspired by pop art and comic artists from the 50s and 60s, Simmons achieves his bold, graphical comic style through detailed stencils and spray paint, techniques heavily rooted in street art. The most intriguing influence in Simmons' paintings is his integration of Renaissance techniques in composition, golden ratio and Fibonacci. Euro News went as far to describe Simmons' work as 'Pop Art inspired by da Vinci' . At just 37 years old, Simmons has already exhibited in 33 galleries and museums across three continents, seven countries and 16 major cities, proving his versatility and global appeal. Simmons' use of colour and commentary is bold and unmistakable. His irreverent sense of humour invites his audience to question taboo topics. Inked magazine described the work as something that will make you blush, and it's easy to see how the combination of superheroes and pin-ups tell stories of romance, lust, mental health and social injustice. Prohbtd magazine described the work by saying, 'Simmons paints like a punk rocker' and as a self-taught artist and storyteller, that outside-the-box mentality and a 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. "I have always needed to push my limits, whether it's the storytelling, engineering, colours or art style. I want to create work that challenges my abilities, people's conceptions and the limits of what's possible with this art form." "This collection of paintings spans a number of years, styles and stories. It is a collection that is quintessentially me. With every piece, the goal is to create something fresh but still look like my hands made it. Contrasting ideas created with continuity. Diverse but distinctive. An introduction to me as an artist, storyteller and technician. The quintessential stencil experience."

Rich Simmons is a Contemporary Urban Pop Artist from London who specialises in stencils and has exhibited all over the world. ریچ سیمونز یک هنرمند معاصر پاپ شهری است که در همه جای دنیا نمایشگاه داشته است. کار سیمونز تقاطع های فرهنگ بصری ، گستردگی هنرهای پاپ ، کتاب های طنز ، دوره رنسانس ، مد معاصر ، جنسیت و فراتر از آن را بررسی می کند. ریچ سیمونز مستقر در لندن دارای محبوبیت جهانی و افراد مشهور است ، زیرا در برخی از معتبرترین گالری های جهان در لندن ، نیویورک ، لس آنجلس ، تمپا ، میامی ، تورنتو و ژنو به نمایش گذاشته است. کار سیمونز اکنون با نمایشگاه مردان فولاد و زنان شگفت انگیز در موزه هنرهای آمریکایی Crystal Bridges در سال 2019 به مجموعه موزه تبدیل شده است. سال گذشته یکی از آثار وی در حراج خیریه کریستی به قیمت 52000 پوند به فروش رسید. استفاده جسورانه سیمونز از رنگ ، شابلونهای برش خورده با جزئیات کاملاً دقیق ، شوخ طبعی و روایت های قابل تأمل در کارهای وی اثبات می کند که ریچ هم یک هنرمند مبتکر و بسیار کلکسیونی است. کار سیمونز فراتر از گالری ها است و نقاشی های دیواری هنری خیابانی او را می توان در سراسر جهان مشاهده کرد که آخرین نقاشی دیواری 3400 فوت مربع در راجرز آرکانزاس تکمیل شده است. سیمونز همچنین خالق و بنیانگذار Art Is The Cure است ، یک سازمان برنده جایزه Vinspired که باعث ارتقا art هنر درمانی می شود و کارگاه های آموزشی و گفتگوهایی را در سراسر جهان برگزار کرده است. 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. "سبک و زیبایی او واقعاً چشمگیر است. هنر خیابان استنسیل فراتر از استنسیل و خیابان. مراقب این شخص باشید ... " مارک هاپوس ، Blink-182 "این هنر به خوبی می تواند به عنوان تلفیقی موفق توصیف شود. بازنمایی های او از چهره های آشنا ، چه واقعی و چه خیالی ، به سیمونز اجازه می دهد تا روایت ها را بسازد ، گاهی اوقات فقط در یک قاب واحد. آنچه ریچ سیمونز تولید می کند قطعاً هنر است ، از خیابان گرفته تا علاقه مندان به گالری ها از همه نوارها به کارهای او پاسخ می دهند. سیمونز اثبات می کند که اشتیاق ، فداکاری و تأثیرات متنوع می تواند یک هنر بین فرهنگی جذاب را ایجاد کند. " مجله Decompoz "ریچ سیمونز" بخشی از موج جدیدی از هنرمندان خیابانی است که از انگلستان ظهور می کنند. او به عنوان یک هنرمند خودآموز ، از سبک استنسیل کاملاً مفصل برای انتقال شوخ طبعی بی ادبانه خود استفاده می کند. " مجله 1884 "سیمونز مانند یک راکر پانک نقاشی می کند." مجله PROHBTD "با اجرای ذهنیت مدرن برای بازگرداندن تصاویر ، ریچ سیمونز هنری می کند که شما را سرخ می کند." مجله INKED "متخصصان هنر پیشرفت ریچ سیمونز را از نزدیک دنبال می کنند. این احتمال قوی وجود دارد که خرید کار او اکنون یک سرمایه گذاری بزرگ باشد.

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 CREATE SCENE CASTLE FINE ART SHOWS STREET ART PUBLIC SPEAKING MEDIA BLOG YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM ART IS THE CURE NFT

JOIN CREATESCENE CreaTeScene - THe Punk ROck SOcial netwOrk fOr a new Creative GeneratiOn Built by an artist, nOt an algOritHm. When Rich Simmons picks up a spray can, he doesn’t just paint — he ignites movements. From the alleyways of street art to gallery walls and global stages, Simmons has carved out a space for colour, chaos, and cultural commentary. He’s a pop punk storyteller with a mission: to use creativity as a stage, a voice, and a cure. Now, he’s taken that mission digital. Enter CreateScene — a radical new social platform built for artists, dreamers, DIYers and culture-shifters. This isn’t just another app. It’s a rebellion against the algorithm. A digital underground. A home for people who create not for likes, but for legacy. Born out of the same mindset that launched Art Is The Cure in 2008 — long before mental health and creativity were trending hashtags — CreateScene is Rich Simmons’ latest performance piece. Only this time, the canvas is global. And it's interactive. Where other platforms prioritise popularity, CreateScene prioritises connection. It was built to help people find their creative tribe, to collaborate across disciplines, to be seen not just as content creators, but as cultural architects. Visual artists, musicians, writers, performers, designers — all under one digital roof, building something bigger than themselves. “I wanted to build the kind of platform I wish existed when I was starting out,” Simmons says. “Something that wasn’t about followers and filters — something that actually brought people together through creativity.” There’s a touch of Da Vinci in the DNA — the blend of art and innovation, the vision to use technology as a tool for human evolution. And there’s definitely the spirit of punk rock — the rawness, the realness, the unapologetic rejection of the status quo. CreateScene isn’t just a platform. It’s a movement. A spark. The beginning of a new Renaissance. One that values imagination over influence, collaboration over competition, and celebrates creativity as the most powerful tool we have to shape culture — and change the world. CreateScene isn’t here to play it safe. It’s here to redefine what a creative community looks like in a digital age. To put power back in the hands of the artists. To build a new kind of social network — one where art doesn’t just get posted. It gets felt. So if you’ve ever felt like you didn’t quite fit on the platforms built by Silicon Valley — that’s because they weren’t built for you.

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.

A mural is not treated as decoration, but as narrative architecture. Each wall becomes an extension of his studio practice — layered, intentional and concept-driven. Bold colour, sharp line work and iconic imagery collide with social commentary and cultural undercurrents, creating pieces that feel both immediate and considered. Whether for brands, public spaces, businesses or private residences, a commissioned mural offers the rare opportunity to scale his signature aesthetic into an immersive experience. In a visual culture saturated with repetition, Simmons’ work offers clarity and character. His murals bring presence to a space — not through noise, but through intent. Each commission is developed with the environment and audience in mind, balancing impact with cohesion. The result is work that feels confident, contemporary and unmistakably distinctive — without losing sight of the space it inhabits. OUTDOOR MURALS Large-scale, site-specific murals designed to transform exterior spaces into visual landmarks. Each piece is developed in response to its environment — balancing impact with context. From high-footfall city walls to cultural projects and brand-led activations, these works are built to command attention while standing the test of time. ENQUIRE COMMERCIAL SPACES Art that shapes atmosphere. From offices and studios to hospitality, retail and creative workspaces, these interior installations are designed to strengthen identity and elevate environment. Each project is tailored to the space and audience — bold enough to define a room, considered enough to integrate seamlessly with its function. ENQUIRE PRIVATE RESIDENCE For collectors and homeowners seeking something truly personal, private commissions bring large-scale Pop Punk Art into domestic settings. Whether a feature wall, studio space or bespoke interior statement, each mural is designed with the architecture and client’s vision in mind — creating work that feels both expressive and intentional within the home. ENQUIRE AD CAMPAIGN Visually led collaborations for brands seeking cultural relevance and standout creative. From temporary hoardings and window takeovers to campaign graphics and digital rollouts, these projects extend the Pop Punk Art aesthetic into commercial storytelling. The focus is clarity, memorability and execution — ensuring the visual impact supports strategic objectives. ENQUIRE

I’m an artist, creative entrepreneur, and founder who speaks openly and honestly about what it really takes to build a career in the creative industries and use creativity to help with mental health. From schools and colleges to companies, conferences, and global events, my talks are designed to inspire, challenge, and empower people to think differently — about creativity, mental health, and their own potential.  Art didn’t just change my life — it saved it. And now I use creativity to help others unlock confidence, resilience, and possibility in their own lives. Public speaking with Rich Simmons brings the same candour and creative intensity that defines his artwork into a live setting. A self-taught artist who built his career independently — navigating galleries, street culture and entrepreneurship without traditional gatekeepers — Simmons speaks with lived experience rather than theory. His talks explore creativity as discipline, resilience as craft, and art as a tool for identity, mental health and cultural commentary. Drawing from the journey behind Pop Punk Art and the evolution of Art Is The Cure, his sessions move between personal story and practical insight. From schools and universities to corporate teams and creative conferences, audiences gain an honest perspective on building a career from the ground up, protecting originality in a crowded visual world, and using creativity as a form of clarity rather than noise. Whether delivering a keynote, hosting a Q&A, or combining a talk with a live demonstration or workshop, Simmons approaches public speaking as an extension of his practice: thoughtful, direct and grounded in experience. The intention is not performance for its own sake, but conversation — leaving audiences with sharper perspective, renewed confidence and a deeper understanding of what it means to create with purpose.

From graphic identity and packaging design to interior interventions, clothing capsules, window displays and large-scale super graphics for hoardings or digital campaigns, each project begins with narrative. What does the brand stand for? What does it want to say — and how should it feel? Simmons translates that essence into a cohesive visual statement, ensuring the aesthetic impact serves a strategic purpose rather than decoration alone. Whether developing a limited-edition product run, reimagining a retail space or creating campaign visuals that command attention in physical and digital environments, the aim remains consistent: to build distinctive, culturally aware design that connects with audiences while maintaining clarity and commercial awareness. Bold where it needs to be. Refined where it matters. Always unmistakably authored. BRAND IDENTITY Crafting visual systems that feel intentional rather than manufactured. From logos and typographic language to brand assets that anchor wider campaigns, this work is about more than decoration — it’s about defining character and creating a coherent visual vocabulary. Each identity is conceived with strategic clarity and visual purpose, designed to stand out in a crowded cultural landscape while remaining authentically rooted in the brand’s story. ENQUIRE PRODUCT DESIGN High-impact design that meets the physical world. Whether for limited-run capsules, merchandise, retail products or bespoke packaging, these solutions balance bold visual presence with real-world function. Colour, form and graphic language are used deliberately to enhance shelf appeal, excite audiences and create that brief, magnetic pause when someone picks it up. ENQUIRE WINDOW DISPLAYS Temporary or permanent visual interventions designed to transform glass, frontage and retail environments into immersive brand statements. From full-window vinyl takeovers to layered graphic installations, each piece is conceived to stop passers-by mid-stride and convert curiosity into engagement. These designs balance bold visual presence with spatial awareness — working with light, scale and movement to ensure the display feels integrated rather than applied. The goal is simple: make the storefront part of the story. ENQUIRE SUPER GRAPHICS Large-format graphic installations created to command scale — across hoardings, development sites, interior walls or campaign backdrops. Super graphics are about dominance without chaos: confident typography, striking imagery and cohesive visual language executed with precision. Whether supporting a property launch, cultural activation or major brand campaign, these pieces are engineered to hold attention from distance while rewarding closer inspection. Built for impact. Designed with intent. ENQUIRE

A metamOrPhOsis frOm negative tO POsitive, Pain tO freedOm. The best works of art stem from an emotional journey and explore the spectrum of emotions we all face but the artist's challenge is to capture this narrative in a piece that allows others to feel something when they see it. Pain, heartache, and negativity can be turned into positivity, beauty, and love but it is the ability to embrace both that is important. I want the Skullerflies to represent the importance of taking something painful and using that as fuel to create change and beauty in someone's life. To turn that energy into something positive and release it into the world through art, music, poetry or whatever someones creative release is and inspire others is my goal for the Skullerflies. It is an expression of freedom and release combined with the macabre to complete the balance that is needed in life. The Skullerflies are the Yin and the Yang, the dark and the light, the pain and the love together in one delicate, fleeting creature. SKULLERFLIES NFT MINT SKULLERFLIES OPENSEA

Rich Simmons is a Contemporary Urban Pop Artist from London who specialises in stencils and has exhibited all over the world. فقط تو باشی - نمایش سولو تقلید مدرن - لندن 11 اکتبر 2012 "هنر زندگی من را نجات داد ، من واقعاً به هنر بدهی دارم" بیانیه ای قابل توجه برای سیمونز که باید بیان کند ، اما با سفری که در طول زندگی خود انجام داده است ، می توانید ببینید که چگونه. او نه تنها زندگی خود را وقف هنر - یک فرار از سنین کودکی کرده است ، بلکه "Art Is The Cure" را نیز ایجاد کرده است ، جامعه ای که از هنر خیابانی برای تعامل با مدارس و سازمانهای جوانان و گردهم آوردن مردم از هر زمینه ای استفاده می کند. 'Just Be You Tiful' یک کشف زیبایی از طریق خودت بودن است. زیبایی از طریق زرق و برق ، زیبایی از طریق طلسم ، زیبایی در خال کوبی و بالاتر از همه ، صداقت. سیمونز از زمینه و سبک نقاشی دیواری خود برای تفسیر صادقانه این موضوع و بررسی چگونگی درک دیگران از زیبایی در پاسخ استفاده می کند. 'Art Is The Cure' روشی است که ریچ می تواند به جامعه هنری بازگرداند. هنر خود که خفیف اوتیسم است ، راهی مثبت به زندگی را به او نشان داده است و او می خواهد آن را با جهان به اشتراک بگذارد. او به دنبال این است که به مردم اجازه دهد از خلاقیت به روش خاص خود استفاده کنند و همچنین روشهای جدیدی را برای استفاده از هنر درمانی پیدا کنند. "متأسفانه بسیاری از افراد به انتشار منفی مانند آسیب به خود ، مواد مخدر ، حتی خودکشی روی می آورند. هنر یک نسخه جایگزین است که می تواند همه احساسات را از سیستم شما بیرون بکشد اما به روشی مثبت. این که آیا نقاشی چیزی است ، نوشتن ، موسیقی ، طراحی و غیره ، اگر تخیل شما را درگیر کند و احساسات را به روشی مثبت از بین ببرد ، نوعی درمان خلاقانه است. این فقط آن انرژی را به چیزی متفاوت هدایت می کند و در پایان آن احساس بهتری خواهید داشت و به جای زخم بر بازوی خود یا سفر به بیمارستان ، یک نقاشی یا شعر یا ترانه دارید که می توانید روی آن تأمل کنید. " سیمونز برای انتشار پیام خود از در دسترس ترین شکل هنری استفاده می کند. دیوار نویسی او سبک و تکنیک خود را از کامیک بوک ها ، کپی کردن هنر پاپ و استفاده از استنسیل ، در همه کاره بودن قوطی اسپری پیشرفت کرد. او به اهمیت عبور مرزها پی می برد و اهمیت آزمایش را در جنبش هنر خیابانی می بیند. "من عاشق کار در خیابان هستم زیرا این یک نوع متفاوت از کار بوم در استودیو است و نوع دیگری از روند و الگوی فکر در پشت آن وجود دارد. گاهی اوقات من به آن چالش احتیاج دارم تا چیزها را تازه نگه دارم و خودم را به عنوان یک هنرمند تجربه و رشد کنم. " سیمونز به داشتن یک نمایش کامل از کارهای خریداری شده توسط پرنسس آذربایجان مشهور شده است. او اولین هنرمند خیابانی بود که برای نقاشی خیابان های باکو به آنجا دعوت شد - تجربه ای فوق العاده سورئال. وی افزود: "مردم آنجا هرگز نظیر چنین كارهایی را ندیده بودند و بسیار هیجان انگیز بود كه به مدرسه ای بروند و دانشجویان هنر را با این واكنش مواجه كنند و كار را به خیابان برسانند تا ببینند مردم چگونه به آن پاسخ می دهند. این یک چالش بزرگ بود اما من آن را دوست داشتم. من با الهام و هیجان از تکامل و حرکت به جلو با هنر خودم به لندن برگشتم و فکر می کنم این کار را انجام داده ام. " 'Just Be You Tiful' این تکامل در کارهای سیمونز است و زیبایی هنر خیابانی و نقاشی های دیواری و همچنین چاپ ، استنسیل و آزمایش در نمایشگاه ایمیت مدرن را باز می کند.

Rich Simmons is a Contemporary Urban Pop Artist from London who specialises in stencils and has exhibited all over the world. MISFITS - نمایش انفرادی SOHO ART معاصر - نیویورک 2 اکتبر تا 18 اکتبر 2015 مالک ریک رونیک پس از نمایش بسیار موفق سال گذشته خود در هنر معاصر سوهو واقع در 259 Bowery (نبش هوستون) ، از هنرمند برنده جایزه ، ریچ سیمونز ، برای نمایش دوم با عنوان "اشتباهات" دعوت کرده است. این نمایشگاه از 2 اکتبر تا 18 اکتبر 2015 برای بازدید عموم آزاد است. سیمونز پس از نمایش های انفرادی موفق در انگلستان به یک ستاره در صحنه هنر بین المللی تبدیل شد. هنگامی که قطعه هنری خیابانی وی در جشن عروسی سلطنتی شاهزاده ویلیام و کیت میدلتون با عنوان "Future *** King" که عروس سلطنتی را به تصویر می کشد و زوج سلطنتی را به تصویر می کشد ، در حالی که سید و نانسی از تپانچه های جنسی چند ساعت پس از انتشار جهانی شدند ، کار او در صحنه هنر تجاری منفجر شد. ! نمایش قبلی وی در هنر معاصر سوهو شامل پرتره جنجالی معروف بوسیدن بتمن و سوپرمن بود. در "اشتباهات" ، سیمونز آخرین کارهای خود را به The Bowery می آورد ، که شامل تصاویر فرهنگ پاپ مانند ابر قهرمانان برجسته ، نظرات و شوخ طبعی خود را بر روی این تصاویر آشنا ارائه می دهد. این هنرمند ایده خود را در پشت عنوان نمایش بیان کرد ، "زیرا این نمایش ترکیبی از چندین سبک و مضمون من است ، و با دختران خالکوبی ، دی جی با پیراهن های راک ، سکسی با پرچم های آمریکایی کمی عجیب تر است. ، و Batgirl سکسی - در حالی که هنوز رویکرد جایگزین / خارجی من در هنر خیابانی / پاپ / معاصر است - من فکر کردم کلمه مناسب برای توصیف همه اینها "ناسازگار" است. " سیمونز از بازگشت به The Bowery مشتاقانه مشتاق است ، "نیویورک از نظر فرهنگی چنین شهر مهیجی است و بسیاری از هنرمندان و جنبش های هنری که از این شهر سرچشمه می گیرند در شکل گیری هنری که دوست دارم و سبکی که به من الهام می گیرد ، نقشی بزرگ دارند - سبک واقعاً از هنر خیابانی ، نقاشی های دیواری ، پاپ آرت و کتاب های طنز الهام گرفته شده است و نیویورک کانون اصلی ترین نمادین در این سبک ها بوده است. " این هنرمند خودآموز ژانر کاملاً جدیدی از هنرهای پاپ و خیابانی را دنبال می کند که غالباً با الهام از تصاویر یکپارچهسازی با سیستمعامل دهه 50 با استفاده از کتابهای مصور پین آپ و نقره ای نقش برجسته ای در کار او دارد. پاره کردن پوسترهای بیلبورد ، خیساندن لایه ها ، جدا كردن آنها و دیدن زیبایی هایی كه در آن وجود دارد ، نوعی باستان شناسی هنری در خیابان ایجاد می كند و به پوسترهایی كه مقصد بودند هرگز دیگر نور روز را نبینند ، روح تازه ای می بخشد. سیمونز آنها را روی بوم می چسباند و پس زمینه ای از سبک فروپاشی شهری را برای تصاویر ایجاد می کند که یک بافت و نتیجه منحصر به فرد ارائه می دهد. از زمانی که هنرمندانی مانند کیت هارینگ و ژان میشل باسکویات خانه خیابانی را نامیده اند ، Bowery با هنر خیابانی در ارتباط است. رونیک با اطمینان خاطر می گوید: "هنر ریچ سیمونز فرصتی است برای مجموعه داران باتجربه برای سرمایه گذاری در نقاشی یک ستاره در حال ظهور." طرفداران و گردآورندگان کارهای سیمونز شامل سلطنت ، مشاهیر و موسیقی دانان هستند - تا سنگاپور ، باکو ، پاریس ، دبی ، موناکو ، لندن و میامی.

POP ROCKS - نمایش گروهی تقلید مدرن - لندن 18 مه تا 14 ژوئن 2018 برای اولین بار ، تقلید مدرن دو معروف ترین شمایل گرایان بصری لندن را جمع می کند: هنری هت و ریچ سیمونز. هر دو هنرمند برای کاری که خارج از فضای سنتی گالری خلق کرده اند به شهرت رسیده اند. Hate هنرمند مشهور خال کوبی است که از جمله مشتریان امی واینهاوس (از جمله تاتوی دخترانه برجسته) ، الکساندر مک کوئین و بسیاری دیگر. سیمونز به خاطر نقاشی های دیواری خیابانی بسیار برجسته خود در لندن و نیویورک ، مانند Future *** King - که کیت میدلتون و پرنس ویلیام را در نقش سید و نانسی به تصویر می کشد - و بتمن در حال بوسیدن سوپرمن مشهور است. پاپ راکس با افتتاحیه در 18 مه ، کارهای جدید و سفارش داده شده ویژه هر دو هنرمند را گرد هم می آورد. درباره ریچ سیمونز ریچ سیمونز ، برنده جایزه و خودآموخته هنرمند متولد و نژاد لندن برای اولین بار در سال 2011 با قطعه هنری خیابانی خود با عنوان "Future *** King" مورد توجه هنر هنری انگلیس قرار گرفت. این شاهزاده ویلیام و دوشس کمبریج را به عنوان سید و نانسی از تپانچه های جنسی به تصویر کشید - مفهومی تصویری از احیای جدید و جوان سلطنت - و اندکی قبل از عروسی سلطنتی پیشرفت بزرگی داشت. از آن زمان او یک طرفدار مشهور جمع کرده است. در سال 2011 ، به دنبال موفقیت و موفقیت جهانی در سطح جهانی ، سیمونز در نمایشگاه های مختلفی در گالری Imitation Modern و خارج از کشور به نمایش درآمد. وی با موفقیت در Artauction Street Bonhams و اخیراً در حراج خیریه Christie's فروش کرد ، جایی که Simon de Pury یکی از نقاشی های Rich را به قیمت 52000 پوند با حراج 52000 پوند با حراج تمام شده به Gracious Hearts انگلستان حراج کرد. دیدن اینکه یکی از هنرمندان ما بخشی از چنین مساله مهمی است که باعث جمع آوری پول برای کودکان با نیازهای ویژه می شود ، شگفت آور است. این نتیجه حراج تأثیر زیادی در کار او خواهد داشت ، زیرا انتظار می رود قیمت های فروش وی به طور قابل توجهی افزایش یابد! به راحتی می توان گفت که او امسال یکی از تماشاگران است ... در پست قبلی وبلاگ ما درباره ریچ سیمونز و سفر هنری او اطلاعات بیشتری کسب کنید .

KRYPTONITE - نمایش انفرادی تقلید مدرن - لندن 11 ژوئن تا 12 ژوئیه 2014 این تابستان شاهد بازگشت Rich Simmons به Imitation Modern برای سومین نمایش انفرادی خود با عنوان 'KRYPTONITE' است. پس از موفقیت در "The Inner Outsider" و "Just Be You Tiful" ، ما هیجان زده هستیم که از این مجموعه با مضمون ابرقهرمان رونمایی می کنیم ، سبک امضای سیمونز را به نمایش می گذاریم در حالی که تکنیک های ابتکاری او مانند استفاده از رزین با براقیت بالا و ایجاد آثار هنری را به نمایش می گذاریم. از طریق عینک سه بعدی مشاهده می شود ، از روی بوم می پرد. 'KRYPTONITE' شخصیت های کمیک مورد علاقه ما را از Wonderwoman گرفته تا Spiderman ، Batman و Superman به نمایش می گذارد همانطور که قبلاً آنها را ندیده ایم. چه Wonderwoman روی جلد Playboy باشد ، چه در آغوش پرشور با بتمن گرفتار شود ، در نمایشگاهی که ادراک ما از "ابرقهرمان" را هم در کتاب های مصور و هم در دنیای امروز به چالش می کشد ، دیدگاه کاملا جدیدی به این شخصیت های قدرتمند داده می شود. برای این مجموعه ، سیمونز مجموعه ای از آثار هنری منحصر به فرد بوم را ایجاد کرده است که با مجموعه ای از چاپهای محدود و چاپهای پوستر تعریف شده است که برای طرفداران ابرقهرمان و علاقه مندان به هنر بسیار مناسب است.

Rich Simmons is a Contemporary Urban Pop Artist from London who specialises in stencils and has exhibited all over the world. نمایشگر داخلی - نمایش انفرادی تقلید مدرن - لندن 13 ژوئن تا 13 ژوئیه 2013 هنرمند ریچ سیمونز تابستان امسال با مجموعه ای کاملاً جدید از آثار در نمایشگاهی به نام "The Inner Outsider" به گالری Imitation Modern بازمی گردد. مجموعه کار جدید بیننده را به چالش می کشد تا جهان را متفاوت و از منظر جدید ببیند - زیبایی را در همه چیز مشاهده کند ، نه فقط بدیهی. عنوان نمایشگاه بیانگر وضعیت خود ریچ به عنوان یک هنرمند خودآموز و بدون آموزش رسمی است - خود او به عنوان The OUTSIDER - که در نمایش زیبایی و کنار هم قرار دادن موجود در همه چیز متمرکز است. اگر برای دیدن زیبایی پنهان شده در اطرافمان ، کمی نزدیکتر بنگریم ، معانی داخلی این زیبایی را نیز خواهیم دید. ریچ می خواهد واکنش ها و س questionsالات مختلف را برانگیزد - برای ایجاد بحث و تفکر. ریچ خودش افتخار دارد که ژانر جدیدی از هنر را دنبال می کند - تلفیقی از هنرهای خیابانی و پاپ که اغلب از تصاویر دهه 50 دهه سبک قدیمی استفاده می شود. استفاده از رنگهای واضح و برجسته وی مانند صورتی ، آدامس صورتی ، قرمز مایل به قرمز ، نیلگون و نیلی همراه با نسخه های کنتراست همان تصویر در رنگهای قهوه و کاپوچینوی سیاه ، نتیجه بصری بی نظیری را ایجاد می کند. زن و شوهری که با کشیدن استنسیل های دستی و بریده شده ، سایه ها را بریزند و بیلبوردهای پاره پاره شده و ریچ خودش را به عنوان یک هنرمند مبتکر و بسیار جمع آور ثابت می کند. پاره کردن پوسترهای بیلبورد ، خیساندن لایه ها و دیدن زیبایی هایی که در لایه ها نهفته است - نوعی باستان شناسی از هنر خیابانی را ایجاد می کند و به پوسترهایی که قرار نبود هرگز دیگر نور روز را ببینند ، روح تازه ای می بخشد. Rich آنها را روی بوم می چسباند و زمینه ها و پس زمینه هایی به سبک سه بعدی برای تصاویر ایجاد می کند که یک بافت و نتیجه منحصر به فرد ارائه می دهد. بسیاری از تصاویر به شدت وخیم شخصی هستند - ازدواج افراد زیبا و پیچ و تاب خورده نشان دهنده نبرد ریچ با افسردگی و اوتیسم. ریچ با استفاده از هنر به عنوان روش درمانی خود ، شیاطین شخصی خود را روی بوم به دام انداخت و از احساسات منفی استفاده کرد تا چیزی زیبا بسازد. مجموعه 35 قطعه جدید شامل: جمجمه در پروانه ها - با الهام از یکی از رویاهای زنده ریچ ، از نزدیک به پروسه پروانه نگاه کنید و جمجمه های داخل آن را ببینید. با پروانه ها نماد زیبایی و جمجمه و میزان مرگ و میر ، بیماری توسط پروانه زیبا تبدیل به یک مثبت می شود. Chanel Bottles and Skeleton Hands - این ایده را به تصویر می کشد که ما در حال تعقیب ایده آل های پوچ و نمادهای وضعیت به سمت قبر هستیم. شما نمی توانید غرور را به گور ببرید - در نهایت چسبیدن به آن مهم نخواهد بود. ترک کوچک روی دست ، مچ شکسته ریچ را هنگام کار در نمایشگاه نشان می دهد. هواپیما و بمب - کنار هم قرار دادن و کنایه از تلاش برای دستیابی به صلح از طریق روند جنگ را نشان می دهد. استفاده از آرم لویی ویتون ، اسکناس های دلار ، علائم صلح و برچسب های دیوار نویسی روی بمب ها حاکی از پیام سیاسی ایجاد صلح از طریق هنر است نه جنگ. تصاویر دیگر این مجموعه شامل "جمجمه های ساخته شده از حشرات پنهان" است - همه آنها همچنین نشان دهنده کنار هم قرار گرفتن زیبایی و پیچ و تاب است. ریچ می گوید: "این مجموعه جدید منعکس کننده 6 ماه گذشته زندگی من است که با یک دست 24/7 با مچ دست شکسته در استودیوی من کار می کند و تمام ایده هایی را که شبانه روز به من می آیند بر روی بوم نقاشی می کند. برای من بسیار مهم است که مردم را الهام دهم و مردم را به چالش بکشند تا جهان را متفاوت ببینند. احساس می کنم این یک گام کامل نسبت به آخرین مجموعه من است و یک تکامل طبیعی در بلوغ من است. احساس کلی تیره تر و در عین حال رنگارنگ تر ، زیبا تر و در عین حال پیچ خورده تر است. " فالون خان ، مدیر گالری در Imitation Modern ؛ "ما خوشحالیم که از استقبال ریچ از گالری با مجموعه کار کاملا جدیدی استقبال می کنیم. مجموعه داران و مطبوعات مشتاقانه منتظر رونمایی از نمایشگاه هستند. ما افتخار می کنیم بهترین و نوآورانه ترین استعداد هنری انگلیس را ارائه دهیم و مطمئناً ریچ در این گروه قرار می گیرد.

MEN OF STEEL، WOMEN OF WONDER - نمایش موزه موزه CRYSTAL BRIDGES OF AMERICAN ART - ARKANSAS 9 فوریه تا 22 آوریل 2019 موزه هنر سان آنتونیو - TEXAS 21 ژوئن تا 1 سپتامبر 2019 سوپرمن و زن شگفت انگیز دو مورد از محبوب ترین نمادهای فرهنگ پاپ آمریکا هستند. این شخصیت ها در زمان ناملایمات اقتصادی و جنگ جهانی خلق شده اند و به سرعت به عنوان چراغ های اخلاق و برابری آمریکا ظهور می کنند و آرمان های حقیقت ، عدالت و روش آمریکایی را نمایندگی می کنند. هنرمندان مردان فولاد ، زنان عجیب و غریب از سوپرمن و زن شگفت انگیز برای کشف هویت ملی ، ارزش های آمریکایی ، سیاست های اجتماعی ، نمایندگی و مفهوم انسانیت در این نمایشگاه مهیج و قابل تأمل استفاده می کنند. مردان فولاد ، زنان عجیب و غریب نمایشگاه جدیدی است که توسط دستیار سرپرست Crystal Bridges Alejo Benedetti ساخته شده است و پاسخ های دنیای هنر را به سوپرمن و زن شگفت انگیز از ریشه های دوران افسردگی گرفته تا تفسیرهای معاصر هنرمند معاصر بررسی می کند. بیش از 70 نقاشی ، عکس ، نصب ، فیلم و بیشتر توسط بیش از 50 هنرمند پیدا کنید. با ارائه دیدگاه های تازه در مورد این نمادهای فرهنگی و بهره گیری از عشق ملی فعلی ما به ابرقهرمانان ، هنرمندان مردان فولاد ، زنان عجیب از سوپرمن و زن شگفت انگیز برای کشف هویت ملی ، ارزش های آمریکایی ، سیاست های اجتماعی ، بازنمایی و مفهوم انسانیت استفاده می کنند در یک نمایشگاه هیجان انگیز ، قابل تأمل ، فراموش نشدنی. ما تشخیص می دهیم که سوپرمن و زن شگفت انگیز چهره های آشنایی هستند و ممکن است جذابیت بیشتری برای مخاطبان جوان داشته باشد. برای والدین و خانواده ها ، مهم است که بدانند در مردان فولاد ، زنان عجیب ، طیف وسیعی از شیوه های نقاشی این شخصیت ها توسط هنرمندان وجود دارد. برخی از آنها به شیوه های آشنا و قهرمانانه نشان داده می شوند ، در حالی که دیگران در حال بررسی موضوعات بالغ مانند نژاد ، جنسیت ، جنسیت و هویت ملی هستند. "سوپرمن نماینده آلفای واقعی است. خدای مدرن امروزی که به عنوان یک انسان خوش برخورد رفتار می کند. این تقارن همیشه من را مجذوب خود می کند. آیا هرکسی را که می بینم در خیابان قدم می زند با استفاده از لباس مبدل مخفی می کند تا احساسات ، نقاط قوت و ضعف واقعی خود را پنهان کند ؟ چند نفر از ما آرزو می کنیم که کاش قدرت خدایی داشتیم که بتواند از نماهایی که پشت سر خود قرار می گیریم خلاص شود؟ شاید بزرگترین نمایش قدرت توانایی خود بودن ، فارغ از ترس از قضاوت و آزار و اذیت و زندگی با شرایط خودمان باشد. می تواند به ما القا کند که از سایه ها رها شویم و به قهرمانی تبدیل شویم که همه ما قادر به وجود آن هستیم.

JAGO - شیرین TOOF سابقه و هدف: تاریخچه مختصری از هنر خیابانی در اوایل دهه 1970 ، از عمیق ترین و تاریکترین گوشه و کنار نیویورک ، نوعی هنر منحصر به فرد ظهور کرد که میلیون ها رهگذر را به خود جلب کرد ، پیام های قدرتمند و قدرتمندی را به همراه داشت و نمایانگر صدای کسانی بود که ایده های اصلی را رد می کردند و که به صداقت "سیستم" شک کرد. کارهای هنرمندان نقاشی دیواری جهانی را به طوفانی کشاند زیرا کتیبه های مختلف یک شبه بر روی دیوارهای آجری ، ساختمانهای بتونی و پیاده روهای مناطق شهری تقریباً هر کشور ظاهر می شدند. از طریق امضاهای رنگ آمیزی شده با اسپری ، این شکل از آزادی بیان در طول زمان به نقاشی های مفصلی تبدیل می شود که معمولاً فضای اطراف را منعکس یا ترکیب می کنند. و بنابراین ، جهان به شکل جدیدی از هنر - STREET ART - دست زد. مفتخر به جمع کردن برخی از افراد برجسته و برخی از جوانان است و هنرمندان آینده دار خیابانی از اروپا و ایالات متحده.

All prints will be sent to my studio first to sign and emboss for authentication before being shipped worldwide to your address. Contact info@richsimmonsart.com to inquire about a commissioned print. PAINTINGS I now have a new studio in Brighton and able to explore commissioned paintings again. If you have a piece in mind that you would like to commission, a different size or colour variant of a piece you've seen from my previous work or something different in mind, please get in touch so we can explore what it would take to make your vision come to life. I am excited to be able to create new works, cut stencils and paint again after a long hiatus without a studio so please reach out to make something unqiue and special for your collection.

MURALS If you have a wall in your home, on your building or in your business that you would like to explore a mural for, I would love to create something unique that fits your vision. I have created murals and street art all over the world, from private residences and hotels to large scale outdoor works that become landmarks in a community. I am happy to travel for the right project, create mock ups and concept art to show you how a piece could look before we start and consult on the best options to bring a project to life.
