Overview
- The exhibition, which opened Friday, runs at Newport Street Gallery in London with free admission through September 13.
- More than 100 works are on view, mixing archival objects and newly made pieces with the hyperreal Red Tree (2026) installed as the show’s centerpiece.
- The project draws on White’s roots as a 1990s upholsterer and furniture maker and followed a 2021 meeting with Damien Hirst that led to the gallery invitation.
- White presents a bricolage approach he calls ‘Hardware Store Art,’ using found objects, spray painting, welding and scented, interactive furniture such as the Warrior Chair and a reworked Eames seat.
- White says the show is meant to shift how fans see him by revealing decades of private making and the exhibition could broaden how popular musicians are understood as cross-disciplinary artists.
