ANDREW SALGADO: TOMORROW I'LL BE PERFECT @ SAATCHI GALLERY

BEERS London and Saatchi Gallery collaborate for the exhibition Tomorrow I’ll be Perfect featuring Canadian-British artist Andrew Salgado. The show at Saatchi Gallery showcases Salgado's evolution from large-scale portraits to fantastical, ominous tableaux, reflecting a 'visual-excess' that explores the boundaries of contemporary figurative painting. Salgado's work is heavily influenced by literature, portraying subjects in a harmonious cacophony of chaotic puzzle-like scenes.

Andrew Salgado, born in Canada in 1982, is a leading UK figurative painter with global solo exhibitions in cities such as London, New York, Tokyo, Miami, Toronto, Cape Town, and Sydney. His artistic journey explores the aspiration for betterment, as depicted in "Tomorrow I’ll be Perfect," where figures attempt new identities in a play on the constant pursuit of our truest expression.

Salgado's extensive solo exhibitions include notable shows like The Lotus Eaters in Tokyo, A Never-Setting Sun at BEERS London, and Dirty Linen/The Nihilist’s Alphabet in Cape Town. Group exhibitions span across the globe, from Denmark to Mexico City. In 2017, Salgado became the youngest artist to receive a survey exhibition at The Canadian High Commission in London.

His works, known for their extensive press coverage, frequently double their estimates in the secondary market, showcasing the artist's significant impact. Andrew Salgado resides and works in London, England, with his pieces collected by institutions such as The Oketa Collection, The Royal Bank of Canada Collection, and the Jordanian Royal Family.
