La Saatchi Gallery sert de plateforme innovante pour l'art contemporain, défendant les talents émergents et les artistes internationaux dont le travail est rarement présenté dans les expositions britanniques. À mesure que la sensibilisation et l'appréciation de l'art contemporain se développent dans le monde, la galerie a connu une augmentation significative de son public. De nombreux artistes découverts ici sont initialement inconnus du public et du monde de l'art commercial, la galerie agissant efficacement comme un tremplin pour leurs carrières internationales ultérieures.
This book highlights painting as a core form of artistic expression, exploring its significance amidst diverse artistic possibilities. It delves into the German tradition, focusing on key figures like Martin Kippenberger and Jorg Immendorff, as well as the innovative work from the Leipzig school.
UK/RAINE presents the work of 30 selected young artists who reveal shared concerns and challenges despite the very different socio-political and artistic environments in which they work. It is clear that the dynamic of the street has infused the Ukrainian artists' work. For the UK artists, it is pluralism and difference that sets the tone. With written contributions from Nigel Hurst, Oleksandr Soloviov and Nick Hackworth the works are presented in fi e categories: installation, new media (including video and photography), painting, sculpture and street art. UK/RAINE is an exciting refl ction of the contemporary art scene in both countries and a collaboration between Saatchi Gallery and the Firtash Foundation.
