Saatchi Gallery Presents 50 X 50 II

50 x 50 II is an exhibition that presents 50 new works of art by 50 emerging artists. All the works are prints measuring 50 x 70cm and each print is priced at only £95 to maximise the opportunity for people to buy exciting new contemporary art.

Each artist has collaborated with the Jealous Print Studio to produce a limited edition of 36 signed and numbered prints. Forty-five of the works were selected as part of the Jealous Needs You programme which openly invited submissions from artists in the UK and abroad. Five of these initial 45 works were selected by a Saatchi Gallery curator. Additionally, the Saatchi Gallery has commissioned five more works to be exclusively launched at 50 x 50 II. These are new works by Ana Bangueses, Darrell Hawkins, SKU, Elektro Team, and Phoebe Greenwood.

The open nature of the submission process has led to a very diverse range of printed works. The works cover many different styles, subjects, and tones. Some works aim to titillate or shock whilst others are objects of decorative beauty. Some works are abstract or constitute meditations on colour or form; whilst others reflect upon current affairs or the human condition.

In addition to the 50 works to be exhibited at Saatchi Gallery, prints by a further 21 artists were produced by the Jealous Print Studio for their 2016 Jealous Needs You programme.
