Easton, Pennsylvania: Raven Fine Art Editions<\/a> is collaborating with artist Danny Simmons to create a series of print editions entitled Deeper Desire<\/em>. This new work is comprised of four unique images that can either be purchased individually or combined as a set. The four images, printed on a sheet size of 22 x 30 inches, have been conceived so that when joined, they create a unified work. Curlee Raven Holton, director of Raven Fine Art Editions, is proud to offer this opportunity for collectors to acquire an original fine art print by a popular artist and arts leader.<\/p>\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\u00a0 modernists, he reworks or reimagines tribal paintings and markings into a modern context. His current work is inspired by textiles but then the artist uses dots, circles, and interconnected lines to form an abstract painting landscape.<\/p>\n

Simmons is a poet and co-producer of the hit HBO series (and Tony-winning Broadway show) Def\u00a0 Poetry Jam with his siblings Russell and Joseph. He also heads the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation with his brother, Russell Simmons.<\/p>\n

His paintings, drawings, and prints are held by major museums and collections in the U.S.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and abroad. He was the founding director of the Experimental Printmaking Institute at Lafayette College and in 2014, he was appointed executive director of the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora at University of Maryland, College Park.<\/p>\n
