Born in 2019 in South London, Bleur is the first independent visual art label championing emerging voices to challenge the status quo. Led by entrepreneur Aurelia Islimye and artist Ana Aguirre- the curatorial duo behind Bleur, Bleur combines the traditional model of an art gallery with a strong avant-garde advocacy voice carving out its own niche in engaged art – art that advocates for social and environmental justice.

From creative partnerships putting artists back on the high street to thought-provoking art campaigns tackling important societal issues, Bleur takes a unique standpoint: create inclusive spaces of conversations to redefine art as a lived experience of the many and a force for change.

OUR STORY

Buying art can be a daunting experience – from the limitless choice available to intimidating price tags. Bleur solo founder Aurelia Islimye experienced this first-hand while looking to make her first art purchase for her home. Feeling pressured to know what she was looking for when venturing into physical art galleries, she turned to online platforms but was overwhelmed by the number of options and the lack of human connection to the artists and artworks. That’s how Bleur was born, a camera in hand recording artists telling their stories.

As a female-led art gallery and label, we actively seek out underrepresented artists with high potential and support a diverse roster of emerging artists. By hand-picking the most promising undiscovered emerging artists on the scene, we allow art buyers to not only invest in original art early in an artist’s journey but also the talent behind the artwork.
