Foreign Object is a London-based creative studio and nomadic gallery led by the creative duo Amina Nugumanova and Elmira Ismukhamedova. The studio serves as a platform for emerging artists, aiming to showcase the new generation of visual talents. Their most recent exhibition took place at GALLERY46, a contemporary independent art gallery in London. "The whispers of our native land are felt throughout this collection of artworks with an overbearing feeling of nostalgia and exploration of home. With artworks depicting a homage to our playful childhood and the naive fantasies we used to believe. We come from a country we rarely see represented in the West and are as a result left with the constant feeling of longing for home. In the hopes of one day seeing a wider representation of Kazakhstan and Central Asian artists, we wanted to convey its spirit through the chosen artworks in the meantime. This is a deeply personal collection with artists Naira Mushtaq, Michal Cygan, Georgia Theologou, Paul Solovyev and many more visualising fragments that offer an encapsulating feeling of our home country."

Eve-Marie Bilodeau, Director of Simard Bilodeau Contemporary, has been collecting art for over 20 years with her husband and gallery co-owner Guy Simard. We are honoured to share a guest collection from Bilodeau, who selected works from across Rise Art that offer both depth in meaning and creative process, stating “I love works that touch me and that bring me joy and peacefulness. That is the type of work that I aim to surround myself with.” Discover a collection of works rooted in deep meaning and mystery, featuring pieces by Georgina Clapham, Karen Turner, Olivia Pendergast, and more.

Our collection primarily consists of established Contemporary artists known for creating artwork that possesses both visual allure and art historical significance. Striking the delicate balance between these two aspects can be unexpectedly challenging. At times, artworks may captivate the eye but lack depth, while in other cases, they may convey a profound narrative but lack aesthetic brilliance. However, we truly enjoy it when these two qualities harmoniously converge. Artists like Takashi Murakami have masterfully embraced this fusion for decades, resulting in his status as one of the most influential artists of his era. His work not only appeals to collectors seeking pieces that illuminate a room and create a visual spectacle but also resonates with those aiming to build a noteworthy family collection featuring blue-chip artists. This broad appeal has consistently driven the increasing value of his artwork over time. Likewise, artists such as Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, and Jeff Koons within our collection have also achieved remarkable success. Their ability to produce visually stunning and conceptually meaningful works explains why their names are highly coveted and represent prime investment opportunities for serious art collectors. Established in 2008, Kumi Contemporary connects some of the most established artists and galleries in Japan. With exhibitions across the globe, from New York to LA, London and beyond, Kumi Contemporary champions Japanese art, supporting its transcendence from once private spaces in Japan into the rest of the world.
