The James Freeman Gallery was established as the Sesame Gallery in 2003 in Islington, London.
Through an initial focus on emerging artists, the gallery has earned a reputation for identifying exciting artists at an early stage of their career and working with them to establish themselves in the contemporary art market. Although focused primarily on European artists, we also work with exciting Asian artists to give them a platform for their work in the UK. The gallery hosts between six and eights curated exhibitions each year, providing a solid framework within which our artists can develop their practice and profile.

Paintings can be powerful things. As a medium, painting has held privileged status for centuries as the collector’s object par excellence, and has somehow survived countless attempts to debunk and deconstruct its privileged position. So what is it about painting that makes it so special? What does painting do that other media can’t?
For our inaugural exhibition, the James Freeman Gallery is pleased to present “Depth Charge”, an exhibition of works by Henrijs Preiss and Yuko Nasu, two London-based artists who make a point of probing the depths of painting’s powers from very different perspectives. Henrijs Preiss will also be showing concurrently at the Saatchi Gallery as part of the Newspeak: British Art Now exhibition - Yuko exhibited at the Saatchi earlier in the year as part of the Franks Suss collection.
