London gallery Ronchini will relocate to a new London gallery in the city’s Mayfair neighborhood this October. The gallery will inaugurate the new space with “Flourish: Gestural Abstractions in Bloom,” a group exhibition on view from October 16th through December 12th. The gallery will open during Frieze London 2025, which will take place from October 15th to 19th.
The new gallery is located on the first floor of a period townhouse on Conduit Street. The 950-square-foot gallery includes a main exhibition room with natural light on two sides, a private viewing room, and expanded offices.
The gallery’s inaugural exhibition, “Flouris,h” presents four artists, three of whom are London-based. Michele Fletcher creates process-led abstract paintings inspired by gardens, using expressive brushstrokes to evoke organic growth. Connie Harrison layers wax and oil paint over photographic references of forests and flowers to produce richly textured works. Shuang Jiang’s energetic compositions use visceral mark-making to explore cycles of decay and renewal, linking personal trauma to the natural world. Shara Mays, born in North Carolina and now living between Oakland in California and Cartagena in Colombia, creates paintings inspired by terrain and gesture.
Ronchini was founded in London in 2012 by Lorenzo Ronchini, who started out in the art world as a private collector focusing on Minimalism and Arte Povera. His gallery has since presented the first London exhibitions of artists including Conrad Marca-Relli, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Franco Angeli, and Rebecca Ward. It maintains a curatorial emphasis on emerging talent and established international artists not previously shown in the U.K.
The gallery announced that its 2026 solo exhibitions will include shows by Ward and Paul Jenkins, with exact dates yet to be announced.
