Our Story

We started Rise Art to share the stories and perspectives of outstanding artists with art collectors and the culturally curious. Rise Art was established in 2011 in London.

We have offices in London and Bordeaux, France and can be found in Soho Home showrooms across the United States and Europe.

Our Story

We search the world for artists whose work moves us, that shapes our perception and that we walk away from feeling subtly changed.
