My Saatchi review

The Saatchi Gallery is the first place to go for new and innovative modern art, with a range of very different art styles.

This modern art invokes many different opinions for example, "The work in this show feels lighter in spirit than British art has for a generation."

(Richard Dorment - Daily Telegraph)

I felt a little underwhelmed when in the Gallery, with only two rooms really doing anything for me, The oil room and the room full of speakers.

I think i preferred them because of the scale of the piece.

A quote from Charlotte Sinclair of vogue, "if the exhibition had happened at the Tate Gallery it might have been less amazing in a way, but because it was at the old, fuddy-duddy

Royal Academy it, suddenly took off."

I found much of the art in the show to be strange or slightly confusing, not to my taste. But a few select pieces were utterly amazing, For example 'Untitled' a room full of 300

speakers all connected to a self playing piano playing an erie sound track.

I enjoyed the Gallery and show as a hole but disliked allot of the work in it.

"The art is less attention-seeking than anything seen in the headline-grabing YBA era"

(Andy Warhol - Artist)
