Beyond the Streets, Saatchi Gallery

Los Angeles Tourism is partnering with the Saatchi Gallery on Beyond the Streets, a new exhibition, which gives visitors a glimpse of the City of Angels’ buzzing arts and culture scene. 

The exhibition takes in three floors of Saatchi Gallery, and brings together new works, large-scale installations and fashion. 

It has work from over 100 artists around the world, including more than 25 Los Angeles street artists. Highlighted artists are : 

• LA muralist and co-designer of Los Angeles Tourism’s logo 
• Mark Machado, aka MISTER CARTOON, who’s artwork appears in Los Angeles Tourism’s future Spring advertising campaign 
• Estevan Oriol, director and star of Netflix’s LA Originals, and 
• Chaz Bojórquez, who is credited with bringing a new graffiti style to LA’s Highland Park in the 1970s.

Over the last 50 years, Los Angeles has developed its ‘outsider art scene’ into a ‘capital of contemporary art’, with more museums than any other place in the U.S. 

Cutting edge art can be spotted across the city, from handwritten signs to elaborate murals.

Los Angeles - The Southern Californian city of Los Angeles offers 300 days of warm sunshine, 75 miles of shoreline, more museums and performing arts venues than any other U.S. city, and an innovative culinary scene. It has more than 30 culturally rich and distinct neighbourhood. 

Saatchi Gallery - Saatchi Gallery provides an innovative platform for contemporary art, presenting works by largely unseen young artists, or by international artists whose work has been rarely or never exhibited in the UK. This approach has made the Gallery one of the most recognised names in contemporary art.
