Grazia says, "The art is thoughtful and less-attention seeking than anything seen in the headline-grabbing YBA era" and I both agree and disagree with this statement, although in ways the art in the gallery has a subtle take on it, i believe all art had to have an attention seeking element to it, to make it stand out from the other pieces.
Charlotte Sinclair from Vogue says, "The exhibition brings together sculptures and paintings, photographs and installations that touch on the ideas of class, consumerism and culture." I agree entirely with this statement, i believe that all the art within with Saatchi has a touch of class, and also links with the happenings of today, which the consumer can relate to, making the art a joy to analyse.
Although the Saatchi has had a lot of praise, Richard Dorment from The Daily Telegraph has said, "For all that i loved the work of these several other artists in the show, i felt it was vitiated by the inclusion of a lot of blandly derivative art that seems to be here either because it was needed to fill up the gallery space or because Saatchi or a business partner thinks that even if its not all that good it may have a commercial potential." I think this is also true, although some of the art in the gallery is both inspiring and makes one think, other pieces, to me were dull, and i wasn't sure why they were in the Saatchi, however, i wasn't sure if this was because i couldn't see the link and therefore couldn't relate to it at all, or it was just art which had no point to it?
The Saatchi was a good experience, and opened my eyes up to the different kinds of art of today.
