Commission a Work by Carlos Simpson

Explore Carlos Simpson’s research, publications, creative practice and human-development work.

A Unique Collaboration

Commissioning an original artwork is more than acquiring art;
it is the beginning of a dialogue between the artist and collector.

Each commission is developed directly with

Carlos Simpson
,
a London-based contemporary artist whose practice explores identity,
perception, memory and the human condition.

The purpose, setting, scale, medium and conceptual direction of the
work are considered before creation begins, allowing the finished
artwork to respond to both Carlos Simpson’s artistic practice and
the context of the commission.

What You Can Commission

  • Portraits and identity-based works:
    Personal or family portraits developed through Carlos Simpson’s
    wider exploration of identity, memory and the self.
  • Conceptual artworks:
    Bespoke paintings, drawings and mixed-media works responding to
    themes including identity, perception, power, memory and recognition.
  • Artistic collaborations:
    Original artwork developed for publications, installations,
    cultural projects and selected institutional exhibitions.
  • Private and institutional commissions:
    Works developed for private collectors, organisations, galleries
    and cultural spaces, subject to the requirements and context of
    the project.

The Commission Process

  1. Initial conversation:
    Share the idea, intended setting, approximate dimensions,
    preferred medium and desired timescale.
  2. Concept development:
    Carlos develops the artistic direction, considering subject,
    composition, material, scale and the relationship between the
    commission and his wider practice.
  3. Proposal and agreement:
    Where appropriate, the scope, price, schedule, delivery arrangements
    and any specific usage or licensing requirements are agreed before
    work begins.
  4. Creation:
    The artwork develops through Carlos Simpson’s studio practice,
    with agreed communication or review points where relevant.
  5. Completion and delivery:
    The completed artwork is signed and supplied with appropriate
    documentation confirming authorship and details of the work.
    Delivery or collection arrangements are agreed according to the
    artwork and destination.
