Nick Smith x Bonhams in aid of The Trussell Trust Charity

I’m delighted to announce my partnership with Bonhams auction house, where we will be unveiling two limited edition prints and two original collaged artworks. These pieces will debut at the 'Hot Off the Press' event, taking place at Bonhams' prestigious New Bond Street location. The event begins on Monday, 29th April, with an exclusive, invitation-only evening where the prints will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The exhibition will then open to the public throughout the week, culminating in a live auction on Wednesday, 1st of May. At this auction, the two original collaged artworks will be sold, with all proceeds going directly to The Trussell Trust, a remarkable charity supporting food banks across the UK.

I chose to partner with the Trussell Trust because of their impactful and transparent approach to addressing food insecurity in the UK. Their work not only provides immediate relief to those facing urgent hunger but also pursues long-term solutions to end the cycle of poverty. This dual mission resonates deeply with my belief in the power of art to not only reflect society but also to actively improve it. By aligning my art with the Trussell Trust, I hope to amplify the message of compassion and support through creativity, ensuring that each piece sold not only adds beauty to the world but also contributes meaningfully to a future where no one has to worry about their next meal. This partnership represents a shared vision of empowerment and change, one artwork and one meal at a time.

I chose to create these works, titled 'Love' and 'Art': Inspired by Warhol's iconic flower prints, these pieces are reimagined with a modern, pixelated style to reflect the vibrant spring season—a time of renewal. Each pixel, infused with text from his memoirs, adds depth by linking artistic expression to societal issues. These artworks connect beautifully with the Trussell Trust’s mission to provide immediate and long-term support for those facing food insecurity. 'Love' embodies the charity’s compassionate community efforts, while 'Art' highlights the creativity needed for lasting change. Through this series, I aim to support the Trust’s vision, where every artwork sold helps build a future without hunger.
