Simmons is a Chicago-based artist and professor. His work explores the possibilities for invention within the printed image using the Xerox printer as a starting point. An accumulated personal library of visual information collected over the last thirty years is deconstructed, manipulated and rearranged to create paintings that present a familiar visual language in an evolving context.
