Saatchi Gallery presents JR: Chronicles - the largest solo museum exhibition to date in London of the internationally recognised French artist JR, featuring some of his most iconic projects from the past fifteen years.
Curated by Sharon Matt Atkins and Drew Sawyer from the Brooklyn Museum, JR: Chronicles traces JR's career from his early documentation of graffiti artists as a teenager in Paris and large-scale architectural interventions in cities worldwide, to his recent digitally collaged murals that create collective portraits of diverse communities.

Artist Ben Turnbull presents American History RemiX in one of our ground floor galleries. American History RemiX is a boldly candid exploration of America’s most defining moments, from the birth of the ‘American Frontier’, via the Kennedy assassinations to the darker days of gun culture and the inauguration of Donald Trump. Bringing together a body of work created over 15 years, including never-before-seen pieces, American History RemiX is an encounter with some uncomfortable truths associated with the USA.
