The spiritual influence of the cultures of Asia, through Zen Buddhsim and Tibetan Tantric art found an echo in the
work of many west coast artists in the 1960's. These interests were, in Simpson’s case, combined with that of the European Surrealists, especially Magritte, to form a personal contribution to the west coast funk style.

Being the mid-sixties, these interests were occuring in an atmosphere where Op art, light shows, Pop, and hard edge painting all met.
It was also the period where Simpson was involved in a variety of multi-media studios in Vancouver such as the Sound Gallery,
Motion Studio and Intermedia.
