Founded in 2003, the gallery originally focused on
exhibiting emerging artists, providing them with a professional framework within
which to develop. In December 2008 the gallery expanded and refurbished its
space on Upper Street. In October 2010 the name changed to James Freeman
Gallery.
James Freeman Gallery exhibits contemporary painting,
photography and sculpture by young artists from Europe and Asia.
Our exhibition schedule presents a combination of curated
group shows and solo exhibitions with both represented and invited artists. The
focus is on presenting artists who articulate original thinking and
art-historical awareness with technical and aesthetic power. We work very
closely with our core stable of artists, and take an active role in helping them
achieve long-term growth and success.
Alongside the gallery programme, we exhibit at fairs in
both the UK and Asia, and work with a network of galleries, curators, and
collectors to create profile-building opportunities for our artists at
international level. In this respect, we have a particular focus on Asia,
helping our artists to establish a presence for themselves in the important art
economies of tomorrow.
Part of the gallery’s activity also includes discovering
and nurturing artists at an early stage of their career, and providing them with
a professional framework within which to develop and become established within
the market. The gallery has a track record of identifying emerging talent that
other galleries have shied away from, but who have then gone on to establish
themselves and develop a strong market following.
