Dellasposa Gallery

Dellasposa Artists

Presenting contemporary and modern art from around the world, Dellasposa’s diverse roster of artists encompasses a range of practices spanning much of the 20^th and 21^st centuries.

It includes some of the biggest names in contemporary art, including the infamous anonymous street artist Banksy, British conceptual and contemporary art titan Damien Hirst, world-renowned sculptural installation artist Anish Kapoor, Op Art’s stalwart cornerstone Bridget Riley, and conceptually driven Japanese photographer and architect Hiroshi Sugimoto.

Also represented, are younger and lesser-known mid-career and emerging artists such as Cleon Peterson, whose paintings draw upon European cultural history to bluntly show harsh worldly realities and senseless violence; London street artist-turned-printmaker Ben Eine; and London-based painter Tahnee Lonsdale, who produces large vibrant surreal and semi-abstract canvases.

Alongside its diverse contemporary stable, Dellasposa presents the work of modern masters, including Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Francis Bacon, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Lucian Freud, Sonia Delaunay, and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Dellasposa Exhibitions and Art Fairs

Starting from a diverse set of curatorial ambitions, Dellasposa hosts an extensive programme of exhibitions on modern and contemporary artists and topics.

Alongside solo exhibitions presenting new works and new insights from an artist’s practice, Dellasposa presents a balanced selection of group shows that establish conversations with the past or engage with contemporary art discourse.

Major group exhibitions have included Tales from the Colony Room (2020), in addition to Modern Masters in Print (2018), and Modern Mavericks (2019), surveying and engaging with the legacy of some of the most influential modernists. Lasting Impressions (2020) and more recent developments in contemporary art– sometimes from a topical standpoint, as with the all-women show The Future is Female (2019) challenge the art world’s gender imbalance while surveying a new wave of feminism.

Reaching beyond the gallery space, Dellasposa coordinates exhibitions engaging with spaces significant to modern and contemporary art development. In 2022, Dellasposa presented the off-site solo exhibition Bailey: Vision and Sound at 45 Park Lane. In 2020, Dellasposa x Home House curated the storied London members club, Home House, with work by the gallery’s artists in the historic 1784-built Georgian townhouse–which, under various leaders and owners for the last 100 years, has been a critical hub for discussion of the past and future of the arts. In addition, shows such as Contemporary Desert Art (2019)–a survey of contemporary Australian aboriginal artists in collaboration with Frewen Arts–explore less familiar art contexts.

Presenting its artists to a broader audience, Dellasposa also participates in several major art events in and around London, including Photo London, the London Art Fair, and Eye of the Collector.
