On 2nd June, the Saatchi Gallery will open its largest show since moving to Chelsea. Entitled Newspeak: British Art Now, the exhibition will feature some of the most exciting artists to have emerged in the UK in the last few years who are still largely unknown in the wider art world.

Over a decade after Sensation, this new generation of artists is making work that collectively offers an arresting insight into the future of contemporary art in Britain. Through sculpture, painting, photography and installation, they explore issues such as class, consumerism and the phenomenon of instant success culture, often with a distinctly British dry wit.

A selection of works from the exhibition were shown at The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg in October 2009, including Eugenie Scrase's Truncated Trunk, chosen from the BBC2 series School of Saatchi, which aired last autumn.

To co-incide with the new exhibition, Gallery Mess are delighted to announce that the beautiful outside terrace at the restaurant is now open until 9.30 pm each evening – creating the perfect venue for warm summer evening drinks and al fresco dining.

The Gallery Mess menu has also seen some developments too, making the Kings Road café/bar a real destination evening venue. Menu highlights include: chargrilled beef tagliata with grilled vegetables, hummus and toasted ciabatta; sea bream with escabèche vegetable salad, citrus, coriander and chilli; and roasted chermoula poussin with aromatic cous cous, herbs and minted yoghurt. On the dessert menu you will find raspberries with bitter chocolate sorbet, ripe mango with blood orange sorbet and milk chocolate panna cotta.

Gallery Mess also has an extensive cocktail list – perfect for lazy evenings on the terrace with friends, and don’t forget your pitchers of Pimms either!
