Ronchini has announced a new chapter in its London journey with a move to a historic space in the heart of Mayfair.

Occupying the frst foor of a period townhouse at 21 Conduit Street, the gallery continues under the direction of its founder Lorenzo Ronchini, who established Ronchini in London in 2012 afer years of private collecting with a focus on Minimalism, Abstraction, and Arte Povera that continue to inform the gallery’s aesthetic today.

The curatorial programme will refect Ronchini’s current emphasis on young emerging talent, established international artists yet to be shown in the UK, and overlooked voices whose contributions merit re-examination within the evolving narrative of art history.

Ronchini’s new quintessential London home provides a main gallery with natural light on two sides, a private viewing room for intimate presentations and expanded ofce space across 950 sq f. The building features distinctive architectural elements, including a stucco façade, cast iron Juliet balconies, and a historic projecting clock, anchoring the gallery in a seting rich with heritage.

The new address in the centre of Mayfair comes with an illustrious history – Conduit Street was developed in the early 18th century on the Conduit Mead Estate, owned by the Corporation of London since the 15th century. As aristocracy waned in the early 20th century, the area transitioned to a more commercial role, and 21 Conduit Street has since housed a variety of enterprises.

The gallery will inaugurate its new space to coincide with Frieze London, opening with Flourish: Gestural Abstractions in Bloom (16th October – 12th December 2025), a group show featuring painters Michele Fletcher, Connie Harrison, Shuang Jiang, and Shara Mays. Each artist’s practice explores gestural, baroque-esque abstractions infused with foral undertones and inspired by landscape.

Upcoming solo exhibitions at Ronchini in 2026 include Rebecca Ward and Paul Jenkins.

About Ronchini

Since opening its doors in 2012 in Mayfair, Ronchini has brought new perspectives to the London contemporary art market by featuring young emerging artists, established artists who have not been exhibited in the UK, as well as artists whose achievements have yet to be fully acknowledged within the shifing geography of art history. Founded by Lorenzo Ronchini, the gallery evolved from years of private collecting with a focus on Minimalism, Abstraction, and Arte Povera – that continue to inform the gallery’s aesthetic today.

Ronchini prides itself on curating every exhibition with a scholarly approach, which engages contextual and subjective issues that have not been previously addressed. It has hosted the frst London exhibitions of Conrad Marca-Relli, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Franco Angeli, Will Coton, Jacob Hashimoto, Katsumi Nakai, Berndnaut Smilde, Paolo Scheggi, Rebecca Ward, and Jens Wolf, amongst many others.

It has now established itself as a forerunner amongst top London galleries and has presented at international art fairs including: Art Basel Hong Kong, Frieze London and New York, The Armory Show, Art Brussels, Dallas Art Fair, Art Dubai, EXPO Chicago, Untitled Miami, Zona Maco (Mexico City), and MiArt (Milan), amongst others, making Ronchini for many years one of the top 20 galleries internationally for fair atendance.

In addition to the exhibition and fair programme, Ronchini publishes artist monographs and exhibition catalogues featuring essays by some of the most lauded voices in the art world, engaging and contextualising the artists that they represent within the wider market. Ronchini also collaborates with museums, foundations, and curators from around the world to develop greater understanding and broader interest in the work of its artists. The gallery offers a focused environment in which its artists can be viewed in a rigorous context. @ronchinigallery
