London is about to witness a new side of Jack White. Known worldwide as the garage rock icon behind The White Stripes, White has also been quietly creating sculptures, furniture, and experimental art for decades. For the first time, his private studio work goes public in the ground breaking exhibition These Thoughts May Disappear.
First Public Exhibition of Jack White’s Visual Art
Opening 29 May 2026 at Damien Hirst’s Newport Street Gallery, These Thoughts May Disappear offers a rare glimpse into Jack White’s creative world. Running until 13 September 2026, the show features raw, immersive, and slightly unhinged artworks — a visual reflection of the musician’s obsessive and experimental approach.
What You’ll See at the Exhibition
Visitors can explore:
-
Sculptures made from found objects
-
Interactive installations
-
Unique furniture pieces
One standout is a reimagined version of White’s 2015 sculpture, The Red Tree, transforming a decaying tree into a hybrid of relic and monument. Each piece reflects White’s signature mix of art-school experimentation and obsessive craftsmanship.
Jack White: From Music Legend to Visual Artist
Born in Detroit in 1975, Jack White started in upholstery, founding Third Man Upholstery in 1996. His work was influenced by Detroit’s Cass Corridor artists and mid-century modern design, a passion that ran parallel to his music career with The White Stripes.
Through Third Man Records, White has applied this aesthetic to interiors, photography, film, and industrial design, but much of his sculpture remained private — until now.
Step Inside Jack White’s Creative Studio
These Thoughts May Disappear isn’t just an exhibition; it’s a window into 30 years of artistic experimentation. Fans of Jack White, modern design, and contemporary sculpture will find this London art show unmissable.
