An innovative concept for all aspiring and ambitious artists.

DEBUT CONTEMPORARY is an innovative concept for all aspiring and ambitious artists, showcasing the best of British creative talent across all art disciplines. Dubbed as “Kingmakers” (International Life Magazine) of creative talent, “London’s Top Tastemakers” (Time Out) and “One of the UK’s Most Powerful Couples in Fashion & Art” (The Times Magazine), husband and wife duo Samir Ceric and Zoe Knight, the “high profile couple” (Drapers Records) behind the launch of Wolf & Badger, Salon Contemporary (including Artist of the Week, Curator of the Month and Best of British competitions) and First Wednesdays, is now launching Debut Contemporary. Having already discovered some of the big names amongst emerging contemporary artists and fashion and jewellery designers in the last few years, the newly designed gallery space on Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill, opened on Wednesday, 2 March 2011, with a special launch party.

Debut Contemporary provides an affordable exhibition and mentoring platform from £95-£145 a week for all talented emerging artists to showcase and sell their artworks where they will be introduced to collectors, art professionals and businesses. The licence fee will entail exhibition space, an 80% net profit from all sales facilitated by the gallery, be it for a piece of art or a commercial deal and most importantly guidance and mentoring by a team of industry professionals. Artists will be prepared with a business savvy mind whilst they maintain their artistic freedom and creative licence.

Be a part of the evolution. To apply simply visit www.debutcontemporary.com and enter your details using the online form under the APPLY section.

Collectors, art professionals and businesses can support DEBUT Artists by getting involved. For more information contact info@debutcontemporary.com.

INTERVIEW > GIUSEPPE ALAGNA
CREATIVE DESIGNER FOR DEBUT CONTEMPORARY WEBSITE



I am an art director/ graphic designer who lives in London. I’m deeply influenced by Art, Fashion, Movies. I’m curious and very passionate about what I’m doing. I don’t like the labels and labelling my work, it's just a way to express myself.








MY INSPIRATION COMES FROM...movies, art, fashion, photography, architecture, music, theatre, flowers, opera, 60’s (I should have been born in the 60’s)

I WOULDN’T WAIT FOR…a movie! I’m actually obsessed…

I FLIRT WITH…the Autumn, it is my  favourite season, a mix of beauty and sadness, I love the sound of leaves under the feet

SOCIAL INFLUENCES… the timeless elegance, people’s faces, the street, tube, the supermarket…

I GOT WHERE I AM… Where?

ART CAN BE... Everything and nothing, meaningful and meaningless, life’s breath

MY BIGGEST WEAKNESS…is being too distracted while I’m walking on the street // to have too high expectations.

COFFEE IS… My drug…Espresso of course…I’m Italian

THERE'S A NEW... thing to learn everyday 

LIFE IS FOR...designing the life…

MY FIRST WIN... express myself through my work

ONE CHANGE... Why just one?

I GET EXCITED BY... everything new
I LIKE GOING...to exhibitions on my own. The V&A’s Baroque Café. Walking outside the Barbican Centre…
THE WORST THING...is closed minded people

TOP TIP...Minimal Baroque!
