Jack White

Newport Street Gallery presents These Thoughts May Disappear, an exhibition of new works by Jack White

A major exhibition of works by the American artist, Jack White, opens at Damien Hirst's Newport Street Gallery. The exhibition marks White's first public showing of his art. The exhibition, arranged in association with HENI, includes sculptures made with found objects including interactive works, installations and furniture design products.

The exhibition also includes a remake of Jack White's 2015 sculpture The Red Tree, preserving the original concept of transforming a decaying tree into a striking artwork.

Born in Detroit in 1975 and currently living in Nashville, 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.

The exhibition has been arranged in association with HENI.
