Malat is making great efforts to provide a platform for these newcomers, reposting them on his own Instagram account, introducing them to the media and sharing their works with interested art collectors. In June, he's taking this mission a step further with the opening of the JD Malat Gallery in Mayfair.
In addition to works by established artists, JD Malat Gallery is launching with a 17-piece collection by Henrik Uldalen, a self-taught painter who Malat discovered on Instagram.
