An Innovative Exhibition Curated by Vanita Barany, Launching 13th September at John Martin Gallery
Artroom London is delighted to announce the upcoming launch of Bringing Spaces to Life through Contemporary Art & Design, an extraordinary exhibition opening on 13th September at the prestigious John Martin Gallery, coinciding with the London Design Festival. Curated by Vanita Barany, CEO and Founder of Artroom London, this event aims to transform our understanding and interaction with spaces through the medium of contemporary art and design.
Discussing the inspiration behind the exhibition, Vanita Barany remarked, “When I was generously offered the gallery space by John Martin, I was both excited and terrified in equal measure. My vision for Bringing Spaces to Life was to curate a collection of contemporary works across all genres and price ranges, illustrating how introducing a painting or sculpture can completely transform the mood and personality of a space. I wanted to highlight art’s role as an integral aspect of interior design and show potential collectors how, with gentle guidance from advisors like Artroom London, they can confidently explore the art market and experience the joy of owning their own pieces. I hope I’ve hit the mark and can’t wait to welcome everyone to our exhibition!”
Coordinated by The Arts Profile, the exhibition will feature a range of innovative and thought-provoking works from distinguished contributors such as Helen Chislett Gallery, Gillian Jason Gallery, Addis Fine Art, and MDS Fine Art. This diverse collection celebrates the fusion of art and design, inviting visitors to discover how creativity can elevate and redefine the spaces we inhabit.
To further enhance the event, Revitalising Spaces will include exclusive talks by notable guest speakers:
- Kees Van der Sande: An architect with a profound appreciation for London’s heritage and listed buildings, Kees Van der Sande has led award-winning projects, including the iconic Dudley House at 100 Park Lane.
- Sally Storey: As Creative Director of John Cullen Lighting, Sally Storey is an internationally acclaimed expert in lighting design. She has designed lighting schemes for clients across the globe and received the LIT Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021.
- Miria Harris: An award-winning landscape designer based in London, Miria Harris introduced her first garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2024. With a background in contemporary art curation, she integrates organic principles and a circular ethos into her landscape designs, working on projects from historic gardens to large public planting schemes.
The exhibition has already generated considerable interest, with leading professionals from the fields of property, architecture, interiors, and art collecting confirming their attendance. Bringing Spaces to Life through Contemporary Art & Design is poised to be a highlight of London’s dynamic art scene, offering a unique chance to engage with cutting-edge trends in art and design.
“We are excited to present an exhibition that not only showcases extraordinary talent but also challenges traditional notions of space and design,” said Barany. “Each piece has been carefully selected to engage viewers on a deeper level, transforming ordinary environments into dynamic, expressive spaces that resonate with creativity and innovation.”
Bringing Spaces to Life through Contemporary Art & Design is more than an exhibition; it is an immersive experience that redefines the role of art in our daily lives. The show is set to be an essential event for art and design enthusiasts alike.
