Dave Buonaguidi

Anthony Burrill
Anthony Burrill is a British graphic artist, known primarily for his clean typographic works that pack a punch, combining his analogue craft skills and powerful, positive messages, whilst pushing his traditional discipline of choice, letterpress printing, into bold new territories.

Jake & Dinos Chapman

Their artwork has been exhibited all across the world and is included in many public and private art collections.

Kate Gibb
Kate Gibb has worked as a printmaker and illustrator for over fifteen years, her early studies in Printed Textiles fuelled her inherent love of colour and pattern, which continually provide the basis for the majority of her work. The kind of printing she is inspired by relies on chance, hiccups and happy accidents.

Chris Levine
Chris Levine is a light artist who works across many mediums in pursuit of an expanded state of perception and awareness, through image and form. Levine’s work considers light not just as a core aspect of art, but of human experience more widely and a spiritual, meditative and philosophical edge permeates his work. Levine is perhaps best known for producing what is already being described as one of the most iconic images of the twenty-first century, Lightness of Being; the sensational portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II which presents an utterly fresh depiction of the most famous woman in the world.

Ally McIntyre
Ally McIntyre’s work rebels against the constraints the art canon has imposed on painting. She reinvents her subjects through large dimensions, bright colours and an unconventional pairing of mixed media and styles. Bold and assertive, her work stands up to the prevalent association of large-scale art with the male artist. Confident brush strokes envelop glimpses of realism and dissolve faces into playful combinations of dream-like colour, line and glitter.

As classically trained artists, the brothers honed their approach to portraiture through ten years of experimentation and travel, during which they eschewed the gallery system, presenting their work in unconventional spaces like nightclubs and corporate buildings.

Andrew Millar (collaborating with Word To Mother)
Andrew Millar is a British artist whose main body of work focuses on the portrait. He explores the manipulative potential of Polaroid film for his collages, applying leaf of precious metals and sometimes acrylic colour in the finishing process, all by hand.

Miss Bugs

Their most recent work includes larger scale artworks, incorporating laser cut planes of wood, hundreds of small component objects and poured resin.

Morag Myerscough
Morag Myerscough’s mantra is ‘make happy those who are near and those who are far will come’. Born and Bred in Holloway, London, Myerscough has always lived in the city and has been fascinated by how colour, pattern and words can change urban environments and people’s perceptions of spaces into places.

Taking inspiration from a successful career in the fashion industry as a shoe designer for brands such as Paul Smith, and also her work in magazines as a designer and art director, Pope aims to capture the sensuality and seductive power conveyed by the lips and mouth.

David Shrigley
Turner Prize nominated artist David Shrigley is known for his distinctive drawing style and works that make satirical comments on everyday situations and human interactions. While drawing is at the centre of his practice, the artist also works across an extensive range of media including sculpture, large-scale installation, animation, painting, photography and music. He has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally, notably in 2016 his large-scale sculpture ‘Really Good' was unveiled in Trafalgar Square for the Fourth Plinth Commission.

Matt Small
Primarily a painter, Matt Small has a strong, compelling style, often choosing discarded objects like car bonnets or old signs instead of canvas for his work. The theme of his work is young, dispossessed people, who are without a voice and often looked over and in painting the urban debris on the canvas, he symbolises the feeling of being without value.

Gary Stranger
Gary Stranger is a UK based artist who started out writing graffiti in 1996. Famed for his well-executed typographic pieces, both his studio work and his wall paintings consist of hand drawn and painted typographic arrangements.

Jess Wilson

Dario Illari, Director of Jealous & Curator of RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW said:
“I’ve been coming to Saatchi Gallery since it first opened its doors on Boundary Road in 1985. It was here that I first got to know many of the artists that I love and admire. So, for Jealous to be showing here feels slightly unreal. But that said, it also feels right.”

Paul Foster, Director of Saatchi Gallery said:
“We at Saatchi Gallery have long admired the breadth & quality of the projects undertaken by Jealous. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with their dynamism – so this exhibition is designed to showcase the artists they work with and to give a wider audience a small taste of what they & Jealous have been up to.”
