Jack White has first major UK show

A major exhibition of works by the American artist, Jack White, will open at Damien Hirst’s Newport Street Gallery.

Exhibition highlights will include sculptures made with found objects including interactive works, installations and furniture design products. 

The exhibition will include a remake of Jack White’s 2015 sculpture The Red Tree preserving the original concept of transforming a decaying tree into a striking artwork.

Jack White is an interdisciplinary artist, equally conversant in sculpture and furniture design products as he is in music and songwriting. Taking inspiration from both mid-century modern design and local Detroit Cass Corridor artists such as Gordon Newton and Robert Sestok as well as his background in upholstery. White opened his own upholstery shop, Third Man Upholstery, in 1996.

While White’s sculpture and upholstery have largely been confined to private work over the past twenty years, he has further explored his design muse via his Third Man Records umbrella. Whether interiors, visuals for print, photography, industrial, film, White designs with purpose, conviction and passion.

Throughout his career as a musician, record producer and artist, White has embraced collaborations, including reimagining 1960s guitar amplifiers with Cass Corridor artist Gordon Newton and a mural commission by Robert Sestok for Third Man Records. For this exhibition, Jack White collaborates with Damien Hirst and other artists connected to the Third Man Records universe.

Newport Street Gallery, Newport Street, London, SE11 6AJ.

29 May – 13 September 2026. Tuesday – Sunday, 10am-6pm.
