We're excited to share that over the past few weeks, RHODES Editions has been very busy launching an exclusive print release with Madison Skriver, helping to be a part of the Bonhams X Nick Smith Hot Off The Press Charity Auction and preparing a new print release with Delia Hamer, ahead of her Project Room exhibition ‘Rinse My Soul’ later this month! Read more about the impressive updates from our RHODES Editions team below.
Bottoms Up, Giclée with Screenprinted Varnish, 70 x 54 cm, 2024
For this printed edition, Madison Skriver teamed up with RHODES Editions to bring to life the shared vision of making Skriver's captivating art accessible to a wider audience through high-quality prints. Skriver's bold aesthetic and her deep connection to the visual motifs of the American post-war period engages the viewer as they explore this theme of wistful affection. There's a palpable nostalgia in her work, a reverence for an era that continues to influence contemporary art and culture. We aimed to capture this essence of Skriver's paintings, whilst ensuring accessibility for our collectors. Each print edition has been meticulously crafted to preserve the integrity and vibrancy of Skriver's original pieces, allowing art enthusiasts to bring a piece of her captivating world into their own homes.
‘Bottoms Up’ is now live on the RHODES Editions website and is available to purchase now!

This month has also seen Nick Smith auction his one-of-a-kind pieces at Bonhams in support of The Trussell Trust charity. Renowned contemporary artist Nick Smith showcased his captivating print editions and offered attendees a unique opportunity to acquire his work and donate to an amazing cause.
Proceeds from the auction directly benefited The Trussell Trust, a leading organization dedicated to combating food insecurity and poverty in the UK. Smith's commitment to social impact is evident in his collaboration with The Trussell Trust. "I want to raise money but also awareness of their work and the huge issue which is hunger in the UK today," he explained. By participating in this auction, collectors not only had the chance to acquire exceptional artworks but also to make a tangible difference in the lives of those in need. "The Trussell Trust isn’t just about keeping food banks running; they’re committed to tackling the root cause of hunger," Smith emphasised. "Their comprehensive approach to not just managing but ending the need for food banks is why I chose to support them."
This evening of art, philanthropy, and community brought collectors together to support a worthy cause and was extremely successful in raising money for The Trussell Trust.

Coming later this month, Delia Hamer will release her latest print with RHODES Editions. Continuing her core technique of blending mythology and personal narrative, these prints ask the viewer to find a connection between ourselves and her piece, and to then interrogate ourselves to find out why we have encountered this shared experience. Her work, rich in symbolic layering, encourages a dialogue between the viewer's inner experiences and the universal stories captured in her works. Watch our social media pages and online news updates for more information.
