LONDON.- Artist Rich Simmons produced his dynamic art on the external walls of the Opera Gallery using spray cans and stencils on New Bond Street “ I have met the Queen, she’s really nice. I’m not sure she would like my work, but I definitely think Wills would. I have huge respect for the Royals and for the upcoming wedding, I think they are great role models and I have done this picture as a gift after all the help I received from the Princes Trust when I was a struggling artist. This is my way of giving back, do come and see my art which is now for sale at The Opera Gallery!’ Rich Simmons

Jean-David Malat, Director of Opera Gallery London, was delighted by the art piece and all of the media attention it has brought the collaboration between Rich Simmons and The Opera Gallery. Rich Simmon’s pieces including this live piece of art are available to view and purchase from The Opera Gallery from 17th March. "It was important for us to start this new street art collaboration on the street. I strongly believe in Rich Simmons, he could very well be the next Banksy of our generation". Jean David-Malat

Rich Simmons is a young and very gifted street artist who brought public attention to his art when he portrayed Prince William and his bride to be Kate Middleton in the punk and provocative Southbank mural «God save the f***ing queen».

In 2008, he created «Art is the Cure», an association aspiring to help people of all ages who are going through tough times and introduce art therapy to the mainstream.

He is supported by and acts as an Ambassador of Prince’s Trust. A very promising artist, he is believed to secure his firm place amongst peers as acclaimed as Banksy of Blek Le Rat.
