10 Emerging London-based Artists And Where To See Their Work
London’s art scene is continuing to boom with major museums expanding, renowned commercial galleries arriving from abroad – including Marion Goodman and Dominque Levy – and prices breaking records at auctions. The capital has firmly established its role as the centre of the European art world through its highly developed art infrastructure, which incorporates leading institutions with a rich cultural landscape. We take a look at 10 emerging London artists and where to find them.

Grace Ndiritu
Born in Kenya and now based in London, Grace Ndiritu has had a wide range of national and international exhibitions, including screenings at the ICA, Chisenhale Gallery and the Venice Biennale in 2005. Her video artwork ‘Raiders of The Lost Ark’ references 80’s movie pop culture while laying the foundation for a discussion about conspiracy theories. Grace’s ‘SWEATSHOP’ series of painting installations explores the idea of the sweatshop from three juxtaposing, overlapping angles. Her enchanting photography installation, ‘A Quest For Meaning’, is an universal narrative, a creation story from the beginning of time. Through photography, Grace tells ‘stories’ of similarly disparate objects and events from the Big Bang until now, by crafting new connections between them.

Leonora Hamill
Leonora Hamill works primarily in photography and moving image. Winner of the Prix HSBC pour la Photographie, Hamill’s ‘Art in Progress’ series is inspired by art schools across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. The series, which started in 2009, consists of images of studios where the art students work. Shot with a large format camera and printed analogically, the images are intentionally detailed, frontal and neutral. Despite their absence, the students remain present through the spaces they have occupied, the objects they have engaged with, and the work they are in the process of making; the spaces exude a palpable sense of collective energy. Hamill explains: ‘I photograph empty studios in art schools marked with the richness of the activities undertaken by the students.’ The studios, ranging from Saigon to Saint Petersburg and Bombay to New Haven, condense the presence of students, the passage of time and the production of art, creating an intensely stratified space.
Leonora Hamill is represented by Tristan Hoare Gallery.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.
Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.
We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits.
