Chilli

Founded by Aubrey Higgin, Chilli began as an artist-run program in 2022. In 2023 the project evolved to establish its first permanent gallery space, and has since grown into a respected voice in the London emerging art scene. The gallery prides itself on giving overlooked artists a voice with a particular focus on cultivating international artistic dialogues. Its programming focuses on diverse, emerging, international artists - united by a desire to tell untold stories of experience, identity & environment through unique painterly, material or conceptual processes. With a focus on painting, Chilli promotes cross-cultural exchange - bringing many international artists to London audiences for the first time. By showcasing artists across multiple continents, the gallery establishes a discursive critical voice - addressing diverse perspectives of art within the broader context of contemporary artistic practices. ...
