Carlos/Ishikawa

Carlos/Ishikawa is a contemporary art gallery based in London that was founded in 2011 by Vanessa Carlos and Emmanuel Ishikawa. The gallery is known for its focused, artist driven program and for supporting emerging and mid career artists whose practices engage critically with painting, sculpture, installation, film, and performance. Emphasizing long term collaboration and careful development of artistic practice, Carlos/Ishikawa has built a reputation for presenting exhibitions that balance formal clarity with conceptual and social depth. Operating from its space in East London, the gallery has become an important platform within the city’s contemporary art scene, contributing to international discourse while maintaining a distinctly thoughtful and rigorous curatorial approach.
