GOS"
Gerry “GOS” Simpson is a multidimensional artist whose life and work radiate creativity, spirit, and unwavering resilience. Based in Sacramento, California, GOS" is a painter, fashion designer, photographer, writer, teacher, and visionary guided by intuition, faith, and a profound love for humanity. His creative universe spans canvas, cloth, ink, denim, and spoken word—woven together by one enduring message: Turn to Love.
Raised in Passaic, New Jersey, Gerry’s life has always been shaped by imagination. In grade school, he was granted special permission to attend advanced art classes years ahead of his peers, setting the foundation for a lifelong commitment to fearless experimentation. By high school, he was sewing, singing, performing, and designing his own clothing—creativity was never a pastime; it was his calling.
Over the decades, GOS" has developed a body of work as expansive as it is distinctive. His watercolor and ink series, Faces • Unintentional, reveals spiritual figures and abstract souls that emerge intuitively, reflecting his belief that creativity is a divine conversation. His fashion designs—shown on runways from California to New Jersey—merge art, storytelling, and style into wearable expressions of love and individuality.
GOS" is also a survivor. After a traumatic fall that broke his neck, he rebuilt his life through determination, faith, and daily creative practice. Painting became both therapy and revelation, deepening his spiritual connection and ushering in a transformative chapter of his career.
Today, Gerry is the founder of The GOS" Movement, a creative ministry rooted in four pillars: Create. Heal. Love. Inspire. Through his studio, The Galle’tique, he mentors emerging artists, designs innovative fashion, exhibits new collections, and brings communities together through workshops, events, and storytelling.
Celebrating over 25 years of creative impact in Sacramento—and a lifetime of visionary expression—GOS" is living proof that art heals, fashion testifies, and creativity transforms.
GOS" is not just an artist. He is a movement.
"Art saved my life, it has allowed me to see and look at the world through a colorful lens. Art sends a message be it good or bad, happy or sad it can even express love and war. Art is my voice without speaking, I can speak as loud as I want and no one would ever say shhhh…" — Gerry “GOS” Simpson
“It is my goal to use my art as a tool to bring people together… to give those outside of my community a glimpse of who I am and what my experiences have been. My work has shown me that we, as people, are similar in many ways and often share the same experiences—lives filled with good moments, family, friends, and joy. I believe that color has a great healing power, and when used boldly, it becomes a force that brings people together and helps us find common ground. Color is an emotion. Color can be moody… soothing… happy. Color is music. Above all, **color is not blind.”
— Gerry “GOS” Simpson
As an Artist my only goal is to create something original, something that I can say is an extension of the way I think by using COLOR and Basic Concepts. Keeping things basic allows the viewer to see whatever they want to see… - Gerry GOS” Simpson
