Saatchi Gallery presents the most comprehensive street art and graffiti exhibition to open in the UK.
Marking the first time in eight years a show has occupied the entirety of Saatchi Gallery, the exhibition will feature original art, rare ephemera, photography, immersive and site-specific installations, archival fashion, and surprises from over 150 artists, icons, rule-breakers and mark-makers.
BEYOND THE STREETS LONDON pays homage to the monumental moments from the worlds of graffiti, street art, hip-hop and punk rock, as well as the artists who immortalised them. From painting trains to social activism, to the clothes we wear and the perception of underground art and culture – leading to a global creative revolution. BEYOND THE STREETS LONDON is a celebration of graffiti’s core ethos of an innate desire for mark-making and challenging authority. By its very nature, graffiti is ephemeral, its own existence is temporary, but the culture and its rebellious spirit prevail.
Artists include Goldie, Guerilla Girls, Jaimie Reid, Jenny Holzer, Kaws, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Shepard Fairey, Stash, Dash Snow and many others.
