Artist Statement
After years of chasing the monsters under his bed, Greg Simkins has reemerged into the ordinary world, bringing with him images of what he saw in those forgotten lands. Simkins didn’t always use a paintbrush to display this barrage of characters, but spent many of his early years filling sketchbooks, which later were spray painted on walls and finally found their way onto canvas. A fantasy sideshow, of your more outlandish dreamt of creatures is what you encounter in each Simkins piece inspired by elements from pop culture, the old masters, nature, carnival kitsch and most importantly, a warped imagination. It is the careful weaving of these elements that makes Greg Simkins a sought after surrealist painter today.

brings us to another realm where these sort of creatures exist, like in “The Neverending Story” We need to learn that there are such worlds out there, that supply endless inspiration to us if we just open our eyes to it. Wonderful work!
