Jealous has opened its annual summer exhibition under the title ‘Jealous Festival – A Summer Show’, bringing a festival theme to its Shoreditch gallery from 13 July to 29 August 2026. The London print gallery says the presentation combines pre-framed works from the Jealous archives with a new rooftop mural by Jess Wilson and a display designed to evoke the atmosphere of a summer music festival.
According to the gallery, the exhibition is taking place at Jealous, 53 Curtain Road in Shoreditch, and was published on the gallery’s website on 13 July 2026. The show runs through 29 August. Jealous describes the installation as a playful transformation of the space, with DIY walls, signposts and spray paint used to create an “air-conditioned festival atmosphere.” Visitors are invited to wear a ‘JEALOUS VIP’ wristband while moving through the display.
The exhibition’s selling point is a selection of pre-framed works presented as ready to take home on the day. Jealous says the framing is bespoke and conservation standard, made in-house by Eden Framing, its sister company. The gallery also says the offer includes a special discount in which buyers pay for the print and receive the frame for free. On the website, Jealous also notes a 15% online discount on selected works by Joe Webb, though that offer is listed separately from the exhibition itself.
The line-up draws on a wide group of Jealous artists, including Kate Gibb, Jake Chapman, Stanley Donwood, Ben Kelly, Noel Fielding, Jess Wilson, Dave Buonaguidi, Corbin Shaw, Guiseppe D’Innella, Mark Denton and Jonathan Mannion X Bashy, among others, subject to availability. Rather than a conventional curated hang, the show is presented as an archive-led sale with a festival-style framing, combining landscapes, characters and bold graphics across different editions.
Jess Wilson’s contribution is one of the main visual anchors of the show. Jealous highlights a brand new rooftop mural by the artist and printer, describing it as bursting with colour and joy. The gallery says the mural was inspired by nature’s resilience, specifically weeds growing through cracks in a concrete pavement. Jealous also points visitors to Wilson’s ‘Bluebells’ series, and includes a signpost installation associated with her 2023 solo show, ‘Going Nowhere’.
The gallery’s online text places the exhibition within Jealous’s broader mix of printmaking, framing and edition sales, an approach that has long distinguished the London space. Its 2025 summer show, staged at St Michael’s Church in Shoreditch, offered a different format, but the 2026 edition returns to the gallery at Curtain Road with the same emphasis on accessible editions and ready-framed works.
Jealous says ‘Jealous Festival – A Summer Show’ runs until Saturday 29 August at Jealous, 53 Curtain Road, EC2A 3PT.
