Slawn Transforms Saatchi Yates Gallery Into A Working Studio

London-based artist Slawn has transformed Saatchi Yates gallery into a live working studio for his latest exhibition, titled *Slawn’s Studio*, running from 22 January to 22 February. The gallery functions as his day-to-day workspace, where paintings are produced and reworked, music is composed and recorded, and collaborators drift in and out, creating an atmosphere of spontaneity and shared energy. Most works were made during a residency in the space, and the exhibition evolves over the month. The project has attracted leading collectors and figures from music, sport, and public life.
