With Valentine’s Day knocking at the door and London’s streets overflowing with red roses and commercial promises, Saatchi Gallery invites us to a far deeper, far more “human” form of love and connection. Organized by Chain of Hope and curated by Maria Sukkar, the “Share Your Heart” exhibition transforms art into a healing instrument from February 11 to 15.
This is not merely a display to be viewed; it is a collective act of love in which more than 70 artists and public figures reinterpret the image of the heart through their own intimate filters. Every single work has been donated to save the lives of children born with heart disease. If, amid London’s frantic rhythm, you are searching for a place to rest your soul and ask an honest “what does it mean to love?”, the air on this floor is exactly for you.
In Chelsea’s proud and intellectual atmosphere, the high-ceilinged halls of Saatchi Gallery now host our most intimate organ: the heart. The exhibition brings together giants of the international art world alongside popular figures we recognize from screens, united around the same purpose. It is a reflection of London’s all-embracing, modern, chaotic yet profoundly gentle energy.
World-Famous Signatures and Heart Forms
The works in the exhibition treat the heart not merely as a biological pump or a romantic cliché, but as a symbol of resilience, connection, and clinging to life. The spectrum ranges from Youssef Nabil’s melancholic touch to Philip Colbert’s pop-art energy, from Gray Malin’s colorful world to Chris Levine’s light plays. Beyond artists alone, contributions from Gillian Anderson, Olivia Colman, and John Lithgow—who have shared their own hearts—lend the selection a unique sincerity.
In the romantic atmosphere of February, for those who wish to see love not only as an individual celebration but as a collective hope, “Share Your Heart” serves as a true refuge. When the healing power of art meets Maria Sukkar’s elegant curation, what emerges is not just an exhibition—it becomes a vast, hopeful heart beating right in the center of London.
“The heart is not only the center of love, but also of endurance. Every brushstroke in this exhibition is like an added breath to a child’s tomorrow.”
