BEYOND THE STREETS LONDON
Saatchi Gallery
17 February – 9 May 2023
The most comprehensive graffiti and street art exhibition to ever open in the UK. Discover original art, rare ephemera, photography, site-specific installations, archival fashion and surprises from over 150 artists, icons, rule-breakers and mark-makers.
From defiant train writers to powerful large-scale muralists, over 100 international artists are featured in BEYOND THE STREETS LONDON. The exhibition, supported by adidas Originals, is the most comprehensive graffiti & street art exhibition to open in the UK, and takes over all three floors of London’s iconic Saatchi Gallery.
Following successful exhibitions in Los Angeles & New York, BEYOND THE STREETS LONDON features new works, large-scale installations, original ephemera and extraordinary fashion that capture the powerful impact of graffiti & street art across the world.
Curated by graffiti historian Roger Gastman, BEYOND THE STREETS LONDON examines the fundamental human need for public self-expression, highlighting artists with roots in graffiti and street art whose work has evolved into highly disciplined studio practices, alongside important cultural figures inspired by this art scene.
Each of the exhibition’s chapters explore exceptional moments in the history of this artistic movement; including the emergence of punk; the birth of hip-hop – marking its 50th anniversary in 2023; and street culture’s strong influence in fashion and film.
