HdM Gallery is a leading international contemporary art gallery founded in Beijing in 2009. We represent artists across painting, sculpture, video, and installation, and have grown significantly over the past decade. The gallery recently expanded into a 500sqm space in Beijing and now operates internationally with locations in London (est. 2018) and Paris (project space est. 2022).
HdM champions emerging Chinese artists globally while introducing established international artists to audiences in China. Entering our next stage of growth, we are also identifying and supporting new talent across the U.K. and Europe.
