London · Established 2017
A contemporary gallery built around artists, culture and the people who collect it.
D’Stassi Art represents and collaborates with significant emerging and internationally recognised artists, presenting work through exhibitions, private advisory and ambitious cultural projects.
Our story
Built differently from the beginning.
D’Stassi Art was founded with the belief that contemporary art should feel culturally relevant, personally engaging and accessible without losing its artistic integrity.
Since opening in London in 2017, the gallery has worked with emerging and internationally recognised artists through exhibitions, private collecting, artist development and ambitious cultural collaborations.
Our approach is personal, considered and built around long-term relationships with artists and collectors. We believe that collecting art should be informed and meaningful, but also exciting.

Our mission
To find, develop and champion exceptional artists, creating meaningful connections between their work and the people who collect it.
We believe galleries should do more than simply display art.
Our role is to support artists in building lasting careers, present their work with ambition and introduce collectors to art that carries genuine cultural and personal significance.
Through exhibitions, collaborations, private advisory and long-term representation, we create opportunities for artists and collectors to grow together.
