India Rose James is a London-based artist, curator, collector and founder of Soho Revue, a contemporary art gallery in the heart of Soho championing emerging artists at the forefront of contemporary practice. India launched the gallery to create a meaningful platform for new talent, operating on a significantly reduced commission structure to better support its artists.
Soho Revue is committed to working with those historically denied equity in the arts, with a particular focus on emerging female artists and other under-represented groups. The gallery exclusively represents female artists, while women account for 80% of all artists exhibited, firmly bucking wider industry trends.
Under India’s direction, Soho Revue has nurtured artists who have gone on to exhibit at Tate Britain, the Royal Academy and Pavillon Vendôme. The gallery has also presented work at leading international fairs including Art Paris, Future Fair NYC, SWAB Barcelona and London Art Fair, alongside an ambitious programme of exhibitions and cross-disciplinary collaborations.
India also runs Revue Studios, a residency programme offering emerging London artists free studio space, funding, professional development and access to leading collectors and curators. Through thoughtful curation and an artist-first approach, she has established Soho Revue as one of London’s most vital spaces for emerging contemporary art.
