Artist Statement
“All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly the soul,” John Ruskin says in
The Stones of Venice. It is the inspiration of the artist’s knowledge and emotion that breathes life into ink,
paper and other media. Without it, art ceases to be anything more than pure decoration. Aesthetic, emotional
or spiritual value derived from art results from self-discovery. This is the true nature of art; Rick Simpson’s art
embodies the essence of this philosophy.
