Kristin Simmons Art

Simmons is not an artist who indulges in social satire—but rather a social satirist who indulges in art. Simmons adroitly reveals the truth about us indirectly, her works—trenchant critiques—wittily exposing modern society through the objects of our desires. We have come to define ourselves in the 21st Century not by our aspirations but rather by the things we want, things Simmons mocks by trivializing. Having said that, Simmons is unabashed and unapologetic in her own appetite for luxury. 

At first glance, her works—full of sparkly baubles and dazzling playthings awash in pop colors—instantly evoke a smile. But if we linger, discerning viewers notice  more going on beneath the playful, glittery veneer that initially greets us. If we take the time to peel back the layers, we detect her signature smirk, wrapped in wit, inside an innuendo.A cascade of innuendos and meta-innuendoes; eclipsing double entendres, Simmons is the master of the poly-entendre.
