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 ‘New York Times’, the artist frames his well-known image of Batman kissing Superman within a front-page newspaper article clutched by a crying woman.

Working with bold shades of red, blue and pink, Simmons crafts an eye-catching work that draws the eye to each detail. Building a narrative through the composition of the piece, he encourages us to ponder what has stirred such a strong emotional reaction in the woman.

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, ‘New York Times’ introduces street art concepts into the home.

This artwork is a hand-signed silkscreen limited edition on Somerset Satin 410gsm paper by Rich Simmons and it can be purchased in a set of two here.
