Todd Goldman

Todd Goldman brings provocative slogans, playful imagery and a new limited-edition Ali G collection to London Art Exchange for his first London exhibition, opening 24 October 2026. About American artist Todd Goldman brings his irreverent humour and provocative slogans to London Art Exchange for his first London exhibition. Running for one month from 24th October 2026, the show features a new limited-edition Ali G collection alongside an opportunity to discover the artist behind the David & Goliath brand. Best known for “Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them”, Goldman built a career turning blunt observations and mischievous jokes into paintings, clothing and widely recognised merchandise. His work combines playful imagery with pointed language, drawing on popular culture, brand parody and everyday absurdities. The results have attracted celebrity collectors while prompting debate about taste, offence and the boundaries of humour. The new Ali G collection draws on Sacha Baron Cohen’s outspoken comic character, bringing another familiar voice from popular culture into Goldman’s visual world. It offers a meeting point between two approaches to comedy shaped by memorable language and provocation. For visitors familiar with Goldman’s slogans, the exhibition offers a chance to revisit the humour that defined his early success. For those encountering his paintings for the first time, it introduces a practice centred on a direct exchange with its audience: a joke, a reaction and the question of where the humour lands.
