About

Madeinartgallery is an exhibition space in the heart of Milan entirely dedicated to contemporary Chinese art. Founded in 2014, the gallery was born from the desire to narrate, through art, the profound transformations of contemporary China. Following a curatorial path developed in collaboration with experts in Chinese visual arts, Madeinartgallery has given voice to established artists and young talents, accompanying them on a journey of growth, dialogue, and international recognition.

The exhibited works tell of a world in rapid evolution, where ancient tradition merges with a vision projected toward the future. Painting, sculpture, photography, and multimedia installations become tools to explore identity, memory, modernity, and spirituality. The gallery represents artists such as Xiao Lu, Zhang Hong Mei, Chen Wenling, Xu De Qi, Song Yongping, Xing Junqin, Luo Zhi Yi, Ren Zhe, Qian Wu, and Zang Peng, each a spokesperson for a unique sensibility and a powerful figurative language.

Madeinartgallery has participated in prestigious exhibitions, such as
“China – The New Frontier of Art” at the Fabbrica del Vapore, at various editions of the Venice Biennale, and at international art fairs. It promotes innovative projects such as “Chinese Presence,” a traveling exhibition in the Marche region, and collaborates with museums, curators, and
institutions to bring Chinese art into European and global contexts.

We believe that art is a form of knowledge, emotion, and connection: each project is born from listening and dialogue, offering the public an authentic, layered, and poetic vision of today’s China.

Mission

Our mission is to share with the world the visual and symbolic power of contemporary Chinese art, spreading and promoting this culture throughout the Old Continent.

We are committed to:

  • Supporting artists who are able to interpret and portray the world through an authentic and contemporary lens.

  • Building bridges between Eastern and Western art, fostering cross-cultural exchange and dialogue.

  • Offering the public artistic experiences that inspire reflection, emotion, and knowledge.

  • Curating exhibitions and projects with cultural and social impact, promoting meaningful encounters between the public and the artist.

Madeinartgallery It is not just a gallery: it is a space of connection, inspiration, and growth, where art lives and invites us to live it.
