Private Reception and Print Signing<\/h1>\n

for Danny Simmons at Raven Fine Art Editions<\/h1>\n

July 14, 2018 \u2022 4 – 7 PM<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n
Raven Fine Art Editions collaborated with artist\u00a0Danny Simmons<\/b>\u00a0to create the new print edition,\u00a0Deeper Desire<\/i><\/b>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Deeper Desire<\/i>\u00a0is a multi-media print comprised of four unique images, each printed on a sheet size of 22 x 30 inches. When joined, the four images create a unified work. The prints can be purchased individually or as a combined set. This series is made in a small production run intended for individual collectors.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Danny Simmons, Jr., is an American abstract painter, poet, and author. He strives to use painting as a spiritual conduit, and many of his works connect tribal musings to modern society. Much like modernists, he reworks or reimagines tribal paintings and markings into a modern context. His current work is inspired by textiles, and the artist uses dots, circles, and interconnected lines to form an abstract painting landscape. Simmons is also a poet and co-producer of the hit HBO series (and Tony-winning Broadway show) Def Poetry Jam with his siblings Russell Simmons and Joseph Simmons.\u00a0 He also heads the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation with his brother, Russell Simmons.<\/div>\n

Painter and master printmaker, Curlee Raven Holton, is the founding director of Raven Fine Art Editions.
