Textile Art Redefined exhibition at The Saatchi Gallery
Helen Adams curated Textile Art Redefined, the first group textile art show at the iconic Saatchi Gallery in London.
Inspired by my book Textile Fine Art, the exhibition featured 15 artists from around the globe using a range of techniques. Some artists created new work for the show including a Secret Garden made from denim by Ian Berry. A blue and white embroidered painting by Deniz Kurdak and a sculptural wall piece by Anne Von Freyburg.
Magda Sayeg – the founder of yarn bombing flew over from Texas to create an installation and Kenny Nguyen displayed an epic canvas of undulating painted silk.
As well as featuring younger artists, the exhibition was also a celebration of artists who have devoted decades to textile art including Kaffe Fassett, Simone Pheulpin and Chiachio & Giannone.
It featured a range of techniques including heat manipulation by Benjamin Shine; fabric pleating by Caroline Burgess; different weaving techniques by Signe Emdal and immaculate quilting by Sara Impey. The common thread is all work was made by hand.
Textile Art Redefined April 10th – May 10th, 2026 Saatchi Gallery.

As artists from across the globe have pushed the boundaries of what is considered fine art, textiles have emerged as one the most vibrant and captivating areas of contemporary art. Tapestry, embroidery, quilting and a wide array of fibre arts are taking centre stage in galleries and exhibitions worldwide.
From Tracey Emin’s blankets to the immersive installations of Chiharu Shiota, via the magical realist hand-embroidery of Chiachio and Giannone and painterly stitching of Alice Kettle, this lavish volume brings together over 50 living artists all creating stunning work by hand.
