London – United Kingdom

Established in 2022, K:art Studio’s mission is to provide a platform for ambitious artistic practices, expanding the possibilities of contemporary image-making, materiality, and spatial experience.

Charline Kervyn

Gent – Belgium

Founded 2022, Charlie Kervyn presents emerging and established Belgian and international artists, chosen for authenticity and individuality.

“We believe an artwork should mark you, whether through an emotion, an idea or simply making you look twice. We’re drawn to pieces that continue to resonate long after the first encounter.“

Frock Gallery

Ypres – Belgium

Founded in 2019 by partners Annelies Deltour and artist Matthew J. Frock, the gallery collaborates with both emerging and mid-career artists, with people at the heart of everything they do.

„Curator Matt Frock has a keen eye for innovative colour, organic form and bricolage. The artists he works with are rooted in modernism but have matured into something new and post-modern.“

AC Latin Art

Ciudad de Buenos Aires – Argentina

A platform for emerging artistic practice, focused on long-term development – market positioning, conceptual depth, and institutional dialogue alike.

„Our participation in international art fairs situates artists within relevant cultural circuits and collector networks.“

Azul Colectivo

Santiago – Chile

Azul Colectivo champions female artists working in painting and works on paper, from figurative to abstract.

„We’re bringing together three Chilean artists exploring the human experience through distinct approaches to painting. Expect an intimate selection connected by emotion, the colour blue, identity and the spaces beneath the surface.“
