Eleven extraordinary works inspired by London are up for grabs at auction this week after the final Next Big Thing episode aired last Sunday evening on London Live. The works reflect the Spirit of London from the winners of the Next Big Thing Live.

The public now have the unprecedented opportunity to acquire these unique and topical works from the extraordinarily talented winners, currently making an impact in the artworld through the Next Big Thing programme.

The auction of the works capturing the Spirit of London is live on https://nextbigthing.live/ until Sunday 12th April 2021.

Proceeds will be split between the artists and the Koppel project. The Koppel Project is an arts charity based in central London that supports early and mid-career artists by offering subsidised, central, communal studio spaces and, through an in-house exhibition programme, provide funding and logistical support for the staging of exhibitions by early career artists and curators.

Over 600 entries in Portraiture, Photography, Street Art, Sculpture, and Landscape were submitted by extraordinary and inspiring young Londoners to enter Next Big Thing Live. The winning artists were filmed for the series that has aired on London Live, as they created an original piece of work which captures the ‘Spirit of London’. The works are now on sale in the auction and highlight this richly diverse and international cultural city.

The competition was open to all artists aged 17 and 30 who live, work or study in London.

Dr James Fox, Art Historian, commented: “I was staggered by the quality and diversity of the art submitted. I’m sure many of these brilliant young artists are stars in the making.”

Next Big Thing Live is presented by James Nicholls.
