Established in Hangzhou, China in 2022 and quickly expanded its activities to New York, ZIAN Gallery is a global gallery specialising in modern and contemporary art. Working with a wide range of distinguished contemporary artists, ZIAN is dedicated to discovering, exploring and promoting art that has an inclination on dynamic, vigorous and energetic gesture, and to fostering the career of emerging and mid-career artists in global context. ZIAN focuses on the spontaneous and intuitive nature of life in art that demonstrates the emotions and psyches of individual life experience through the expression of form, media and subject. Since its inception, the gallery has been exploring and nurturing singular and innovative works of art across genres and media in the context of contemporary states of being.
Designed by German architect Andreas Ruhland, the gallery features a four-story complex with interior spaces curated by Debelle de Montby. It includes galleries as well as an independent sculpture garden dedicated to showcasing and hosting large-scale public sculptures and projects. The gallery's flexible and open exhibition environment transcends spatial limitations, enabling the artworks to interact and engage with the surroundings and the audience on a deeper level. This creates a fresh and immersive exhibition experience for visitors.
