A favourite from 2016... Kate Moss in the most finger print susceptible frame I’ve ever commissioned... should have been sold with kitchen roll & a bottle of windowlene spray as standard. #katemoss #nicksmith #nicksmithart #collageonpaper #mirrorframe

Part 1 of a pair of Rembrandt collages currently under construction... Love the subtle tonal differences in the background giving a voyeuristic view into Rembrandt’s colour palette #rembrandt #ruffryders #nicksmithart #nicksmith #collageonpaper

With a larger studio space, I’ve been able to increase the dimensions of my work. This Turquoise Marilyn measurers the same size as the original Warhol artwork... 40x40 inches which was bought by Steven A Cohen in for $80,000,000 in 2007. This equates to 1,650 colour chips measuring 2x3cm each having a proportional value of $48,484.85 cents. #nicksmith #nicksmithart #lawrencealkingallery #marilyn #warhol #collageonpaper #priceless

Nick Smith x Jake & Dinos Chapman - Charity artwork for sale. . I was asked to be part of a group show which ‘confronts identity changed by the potentially devastating effects of others’. The concept behind FaceValue2 is to use 30 collaborative artworks to show the effect on one’s identity an outside influence can have, ranging from minimal to near devastating. . 30 artists have donated an artwork knowing it will be handed to an unspecified artist to use as a reference point to take it on a new journey with varying destinations. The result being a collaboration between two artists, producing one coherent work which has had its identity altered by another. . I was paired with the Chapman Brothers. The original work is titled... The lisper lisps, the stutterer stutters, the dyslexic disleksiks it. A lithographic print editioned 49/50 measuring 100x68cm with a face value of £1,800 . Having used McDonald's as a theme for many years, Jake & Dinos' print was run over by several patrons at a McDonald's Drive Thru. . Adorned with new McTire marks, I tore the print in two, then printed the cause of the altered identity on the reverse, then stuck it back together creating an oversized colour swatch. . The piece is available framed with an additional £1 added to @jakeanddinos retail price of £1800, making it £1801. Please contact @jealous_london for enquiries. . The show is located at Jealous Gallery, @jealous_london EC2, London between 9th - 17th March. 100% of the proceeds of the FaceValue2 exhibition are going directly to The Katie Piper Foundation, @kpfoundation @katiepiper_ charity that specialise in helping in the recovery of those of our society have had their own, physical identity altered @mizogart . #katiepiperfoundation #facevalue #facevalue2 #jealousgallery #jakeanddinos #nicksmith #nicksmithart #garymansfield

I was always told to show my workings at school. This is where it started for me, a bit rough round the edges by today’s comparison... This piece ended up in Japan #nicksmith #nicksmithart #girlwiththepearlearring
