Founded in 2009, Tristan Hoare is a multi-layered gallery focusing on young and established artists working in a variety of mediums. African photography, glass, painting and drawing are all areas of interest, as well as a developing passion for ceramics.
Each year the gallery curates an ambitious exhibition with an overarching theme. Geometrica (2018), Botanica (2019) and Folds (2021) enabled Tristan Hoare to collaborate with multiple artists and galleries, combining work from BC to the present day. Exhibitions are executed with the intention of telling a story and connecting with both seasoned collectors and people less familiar with the art world.
During Frieze 2021, the gallery booth presented a series of prints by Ellsworth Kelly alongside Korean Moon Jars by the mother of Korean ceramics, Kim Yikyung. Simultaneously, the gallery exhibited Cracked in its permanent space in Fitzroy Square, a group show focusing on hand-moulded ceramics without the use of a wheel, curated by Leonie Mir. The exhibition presented an opportunity to showcase works by artists who have a long standing relationship with clay and more experience of moulding by hand, alongside newcomers to the medium.
This winter, Tristan Hoare presents Flavie Audi's Ora et Labora, the French- Lebanese artist's second solo show. Ora et Labora continues Audi’s artistic explorations by combining traditional glass techniques with digital fabrication to create futuristic forms which investigate the points at which the natural and artificial worlds meet. Ora et Labora shows Audi’s work to be an evolving practice; her experiments have led to an expanded language of forms, colour, texture and combinations of materials. The exhibition is the result of the last several years’ work by Audi, inspired by the spiritual world and dedicated to her late grandmother
The gallery is located in a Grade I listed Georgian house in Fitzroy Square and is open Tuesday to Saturday.
