About

The Artist of the Future Prize 2025 launches its inaugural edition with an exhibition showcasing digital art by 10 artists from across the UK and Europe shortlisted for the prize. 

Launched as part of Peugeot’s Principal Patronage of Saatchi Gallery, the Prize showcases shortlisted works chosen by a distinguished panel of judges and an overall winner, who receives the accolade of Artist of the Future 2025 and a prize worth £10,000 (£5,000 in money and a media package valued at a further £5,000).

With Innovation as its theme, this first edition highlights artists who push the possibilities of digital art, challenge convention, and invite audiences to see creativity through fresh perspectives. For Peugeot, innovation defines its commitment to pioneering electric mobility and visionary design, while for Saatchi Gallery it underpins a mission to support artists who spark dialogue and expand how we think about art and society.

The work has been selected by a judging panel spanning the worlds of art, culture, and design, including Matthias Hossann (Design Director, Peugeot), Dominic Harris (British artist exploring humanity’s relationship with nature), Darren Styles OBE (Publisher of Attitude Magazine and Rolling Stone UK), Paul Foster (Director, Saatchi Gallery) and Katherine Benson (Exhibition Programming Manager, Saatchi Gallery).

About

PAPER CUT turns the gallery into a giant children’s art table, scattered with crayons, glue sticks, and bright, fragile creations. Among the mess are an abandoned popsicle-stick house, a life size diorama, macaroni paintings, and pipe-cleaner figures caught mid-gesture. Created by PRIEST, the installation reimagines childhood play as social archaeology, exposing the city’s hidden layers of class, chaos, and imitation. Beneath the colour lies London itself: the housing crisis, youth violence, influencer culture, and the weary humour of modern life. 

PAPER CUT questions what’s left of art once it grows up, when spontaneity hardens into strategy, and honesty becomes a pose, wondering if the child who first picked up the crayon might have understood it better right from the start.

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” – Picasso

About

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants II: A Unique Dialogue Between Past and Present is a collaboration between artist-curator Louise te Poele, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and Saatchi Gallery. The V&A has granted access to its historic collection of works by female creators, which has inspired a new body of work by contemporary artists.

Following the success of the first edition, this exhibition explores the historical and ongoing invisibility of female artists. Ten Dutch female artists have created new works in direct response to pieces by women in the V&A’s collection — works that have served as essential sources of inspiration. The result is a powerful visual dialogue spanning generations.

Why do we so often recall only male names when we think of great artists? This exhibition challenges that imbalance by bringing visibility to both contemporary Dutch female artists and their often-overlooked historical counterparts. Through this unique partnership between leading cultural institutions, the project creates space, recognition, and momentum — by and for women.

Participating artists: Lily de Bont, Margriet van Breevoort, Bobbi Essers, Larissa Esvelt, Anya Janssen, Audrey Large, Femmy Otten, Louise te Poele, Saar Scheerlings, Bregje Slipenbeek

We’d like to thank Mondriaan Fund, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Kingdom, and Sorba for their ongoing support of this project. 

About

Co-curated with Saatchi Gallery, the Bagri Foundation presents Myths, Dreams and New Realities. The exhibition spotlights 13 emerging artists from across the Asian diaspora, who each reimagine cultural identity through personal mythologies and visionary material practices.

Dreamlike visuals unfurl as the artists investigate the entangled relationship between identity, history, and mythology. Lulu Wang and Sato Sugamoto’s larger-than-life anthropomorphic shapes and tangled wires greet us at one end of the gallery, while Wink King Moe’s cotton candy coloured landscapes and Marcos Kueh’s detailed tapestries draw inventively from the folklore, symbolism and myth of Malaysian culture. 

Throughout the exhibition, human and non-human landscapes are revealed through painting and sculpture. Artists reimagine their relationship with land and body, drawing inspiration from craft traditions and ancestral memory. Whether working with natural pigments, found materials or industrial processes, each artist builds a unique reality, some built on myths or dreams whilst others on our own bodies, offering not just new ways of seeing, but exploring new ways of being. 

Chelsea Pettitt, Director of the Bagri Foundation and exhibition curator, will conduct two drop-in walkthroughs on the dates below. Pre-booking is not required. 

• 12pm, Sunday 26 October with artist Hemaseh Manawi Rad
• 12pm, Saturday 29 November with artist Woo Jin Joo and Varshga Premarasa

About

FUTURESPECTIVE is an initiative by Vogue Ukraine in partnership with PhotoVogue, aimed to support and promote Ukrainian photographers on the international scene. The debut exhibition features works by 34 talents across genres and formats — from documentary and fine-art photography to still life, landscapes, and collage. 

The exhibition explores themes of adolescence, life and hope in times of war, identity, and memory.  These photographic studies address deeply intimate subjects — family, self-exploration, emotions — and become part of the existential dialogue about the meaning of life and the experience of war. Together, the images create a striking visual portrait of a generation that speaks to viewers with remarkable sensitivity and strength. 

Saatchi Store will have Vogue Ukraine book editions, T-shirts, and postcards featuring selected works by Ukrainian photographers for sale. 

Featured artists: Vladyslav Andrievsky, Vic Bakin, Lesha Berezovskiy, Mishka Bochkaryov, Ania Brudna, Alex Blanco, Nazar Furyk, Egor Guschin, Artem Humilevskyi, Vadym Ivchenko, Yourko Kalichack, Ksenia Kargina, Daniil Kotliar, Sasha Kurmaz, Ira Lupu, Dom Marker, Mykola Maychyk, Yegor Parker, Anatoliy Petchenko, Kristina Podobed, Oleksiy Ponomaryov, Alina Prisich, Julie Poly, Viacheslav Poliakov, Irina Shkoda, Elena Subach, Synchrodogs, Daria Svertilova, Anya Tsaruk, Daniel Vaysberg, Vasylyna Vrublevska, Yan Wasiuchnik, Stephan Lisowski, Volodymyr Kaminetsky.

About

In Exhale, Kat Kristof explores the boundaries of inner and outer space through richly layered, psychologically charged works. Trained in architecture and painting, Kristof constructs immersive compositions that navigate identity, memory, and perception. Her figures—neither strictly figurative nor fully abstract—exist in architectonic dreamscapes that oscillate between fullness and emptiness, surface and depth.

Recurring motifs, such as water and the pool, suggest both containment and release. These are meditative spaces, where colour and form evoke a quiet, reverberating energy. Kristof’s visual language is rooted in emotion rather than realism, offering a poetics of identity that resists fixed interpretation.

Kristof demonstrates remarkable command over composition, structure, and psychological tone. Her work references both art history and the subconscious, inviting comparisons to the metaphysical worlds of de Chirico or the emotive stillness of Rothko. Yet, Kristof’s vision is distinctly her own: fluid, introspective, and rigorously constructed.

Born in Hungary and now based in Folkestone, Kristof invites viewers to submerge themselves—to trust in the work’s ability to hold contradiction and complexity. Exhale is an invitation to navigate the mind’s layered architecture and re-emerge with new ways of seeing.
