Know more about Hongqian Zhang

My name is Hongqian Zhang. I am an independent curator and artist representative based in London. After completing both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Graphic Design in London, I have been actively working across the fields of visual design and curatorial practice.

My work is rooted in a central mission:
to amplify contemporary practices grounded in East Asian cultural traditions — and help them be seen, understood, and collected on a global scale.

I collaborate with artists whose work is emotionally layered, materially rich, and culturally thoughtful. Whether in ceramics, fibre, painting, or moving image, I am drawn to practices that resist simplification — works that speak in quiet, powerful ways.

I have curated exhibitions across London in galleries such as Fitzrovia Gallery, Espacio Gallery, Batsford Gallery and Photofusion Gallery showcasing emerging and mid-career artists from China, Southeast Asia, the UK, and beyond. Alongside curating, I provide artist representation, sales strategy, and cultural positioning for selected artists I deeply believe in.

Below are selected media features and project highlights — I hope they offer a closer look at who I am and the work I do.

Full disclosure: this photo is definitely edited.
Please don’t act like you don’t recognize me in real life — I’ll be emotionally devastated.
