Originally from Paris, Jean-David Malat established his eponymous gallery in London five years ago with the aim of fostering young and emerging artists-and has since developed a notably dynamic roster and thought-provoking program. A perennial supporter of the arts and artists, over the course of his nearly two-decade career, Malat has collaborated with a multitude of museums and foundations, through which he has helped advance the careers of several now internationally recognized artists such as Conrad Jon Godly and Henrik Uldalen. With his wealth of expertise and knowhow, Malat has discovered, promoted, and helped establish dozens of previously unknown artists, and continues to do so now through the endeavors of JD Malat Gallery.
Malat is participating in the Zona Maco art fair opening today in Mexico City, presenting a selection of new work by four of the gallery's artists. We reached out to Malat to learn more about what's in store both for at the fair and for the gallery.
