New Order II
New Saatchi Gallery, London
British Art Today. From sculpture and painting, to installation and video, this selection of artists employ a hybrid of traditional and contemporary techniques and materials, which revitalise existing visual languages.
The Saatchi Gallery will open New Order II: British
Art Today, the second instalment in the Gallery’s new programme of exhibitions
dedicated to emergent British contemporary art.
The programme of exhibitions continues the Saatchi Gallery’s 25-year-long support of
emerging artists and its drive to make contemporary art as widely accessible as
possible. An entire floor has been devoted to exhibiting artists in the early stages
of their careers, and enables young artists to have their work displayed in a museum
environment. It also gives visitors to the Gallery a chance to discover some of the
most exciting artists working in the UK.
New Order II: British Art Today features 13 artists who offer an arresting insight
into art being made in the UK today. From sculpture and painting, to installation
and video, this selection of artists employ a hybrid of traditional and contemporary
techniques and materials, which revitalise existing visual languages.
Abstraction returns in the shape of interior décor in George Little’s paintings,
with satirical intent in Dan Rees’ plasticine covered panels, or revived in
unconventional and contrasting materials in Dominic Beattie’s pieces. Virgile
Ittah’s wax figures droop as they succumb to Virgile Ittah, Regarding The Pain Of
The Other, 2013 gravity; Finbar Ward’s paintings are stacked on the floor like
minimalist sculptures; and the sensory and sonic are embodied in Hannah Perry’s
immersive installation.
New Order II: British Art Today features work by Dominic Beattie, Sarah Dwyer, Nick
Evans, Tom Gidley, Kate Hawkins, Virgile Ittah, George Little, Oliver Osborne,
Hannah Perry, Martine Poppe, Mary Ramsden, Dan Rees and Finbar Ward.
New Order II: British Art Today opens to the public on 24 January. Entry is free.
The Saatchi Gallery offers free admission to all its exhibitions, which has helped
it host 10 of the top 15 most visited museum shows in London over the last four
years according to The Art Newspaper’s annual attendance surveys.
