Saatchi Gallery Showcases Recent Graduates in Figurative Painting Exhibition

Saatchi Gallery in London is presenting 'Gesture and Being,' an exhibition featuring six recent graduates from the Royal College of Art and Slade School of Fine Art. The artists—Anna Curzon Price, Gala Hills, Katja Farin, Mia Wilkinson, Poppy Critchlow, and Qian Zhong—all work in figurative painting, exploring themes of gender, identity, and the body through fluid self-expression. Their paintings depict figures that are performative, dreamlike, or defiant, examining how personal narratives interact with internal and external environments. The exhibition runs from February 18 to March 30, 2026, with free admission and a suggested donation. Saatchi Gallery, established in 1985, is known for showcasing emerging and international contemporary artists.
