Jack White, former frontman of The White Stripes and self-proclaimed primal rock god, is venturing into sculptural territory. His exhibition ' THESE THOUGHTS MAY DISAPPEAR' opens at Newport Street Gallery on 29 May, showcasing his work in sculptures, furniture designs, notebooks and photography.

The collaboration with Damien Hirst began in 2021, when White played a spontaneous concert from Hirst’s balcony, drawing thousands to sing along. White has always had a keen interest in art; his second album 'De Stijl' references the Dutch art movement, and The White Stripes’ iconic aesthetic was unmistakable.

“I’m trying to put music a little bit on the back burner in this scenario,” White told The Financial Times. “I don’t want it to look like, ‘Oh, Frank Sinatra also does paintings, how cute.’” His artworks feature found objects transformed and furniture-like items reflecting his past as an upholsterer. Hirst praised White’s work for its versatility and push against boundaries.

White’s exhibition promises a unique blend of creativity, pushing the limits of what is considered art in his own distinctive style. The show runs until 13 September, offering audiences a chance to see another side of a rock icon.
