Kira Streletzki is a gallerist and curator based between London and Berlin who champions emerging female artists. She regularly organises pop up exhibitions, spotlighting new voices in contemporary art, fostering visibility and dialogue across international audiences.<\/p>\n

The first piece I ever acquired was a work on paper by Rashid Johnson from his Anxious Men series, which I purchased in 2018 from Hauser & Wirth in St. Moritz. At the time, I had just completed a six-month internship at the gallery\u2019s New York space, where I developed a deep appreciation for Johnson\u2019s practice. His ability to fuse diverse materials and media \u2014 often with raw immediacy \u2014 while exploring complex narratives around identity, personal history, and collective emotion left a lasting impression on me.<\/p>\n

Since then, I\u2019ve relocated internationally and moved through various living spaces, yet the piece has remained a constant. Johnson\u2019s Black Anxious Drawing (2018) now hangs in the entryway of my London flat, where it\u2019s joined by a work by British artist Ella Walker. In fact, The Romance of the Rose (2024) is the first piece you encounter upon entering. I discovered it at Art Basel last year and was immediately drawn in not only by the visual richness of the work, but also by the way Walker reimagines historical and cultural iconography. Her paintings challenge conventional representations of women, constructing layered, emotionally charged scenes that are as thought-provoking as they are beautiful.<\/p>\n

One of the few larger wall spaces in my flat is dedicated to Whispers in Soot (2023), a work by young Chinese artist Kaifan Wang. I first encountered his work at the 2022 Universita\u0308t der Ku\u0308nste graduate show in Berlin. His practice offers a deeply nuanced exploration of migration and cultural identity, blending the personal and global through expressive brushwork, rich materiality, and a distinctive dialogue between Eastern and Western abstraction. The piece I acquired is rich in colour \u2014 deep, layered tones that draw the eye and ground the room \u2014 making it a natural centrepiece within my home. I was so drawn to the palette that it gradually began to shape the room\u2019s atmosphere. Over time, the work\u2019s colours and energy have subtly guided the interior design, creating a warm, contemplative, and visually cohesive environment.<\/p>\n

In recent years, I\u2019ve been fortunate to curate exhibitions spotlighting emerging female artists, always keeping a work from each show. The next piece joining my collection will be by Chilean-British artist Isabel Mun\u0303oz-Newsome. Her paintings shift between figuration and abstraction, with bodies dissolving into waves of colour. Through flowing, often finger-applied brushwork, she evokes the tactile sensation of flesh. These luminous portals of emotion and imagination reveal both the rawness and the euphoria of embodiment, making her work a striking addition to my home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"
