Jack White's First Art Exhibition Opens at Damien Hirst's London Gallery in May

American musician Jack White will showcase his visual art publicly for the initial time at Damien Hirst's Newport Street Gallery in London. The presentation, named "These Thoughts May Disappear," is scheduled from May 29 to September 13. It will display sculptures, interactive pieces, installations, and furniture designs. White, recognized primarily as the frontman and guitarist for The White Stripes, describes his creative approach as "Hardware Store Art," blending woodworking, upholstery, assemblage, and repurposed objects. His artistic influences stem from his hometown of Detroit, mid-century modern furniture, Detroit Cass Corridor artists like Gordon Newton and Robert Sestok, and historical movements such as De Stijl and Dada. White has practiced upholstery for years, founding Third Man Upholstery in Detroit in 1996. The exhibition will include an updated iteration of his 2015 sculpture, T. While currently residing in Nashville, Detroit's cultural environment significantly shapes his work. This event marks a notable crossover from music to visual arts, hosted at a prominent gallery owned by renowned artist Damien Hirst.
