Through his gallery’s newly established c/discoveries initiative, Kevin Cuturi hopes to give aspiring home-grown artists a chance at pursuing a career in the visual arts

It is tough to be a full-time artist, gallerist Kevin Cuturi notes, especially in Singapore where talents struggle with high material costs and lack of gallery representation, while the art market is facing dwindling collector support. The French founder of Cuturi Gallery (formerly known as Mazel Galerie, until he recently cut ties with the Brusselsbased gallery to gain more autonomy over his programmes) knows this only too well, having been based in Singapore for the past four years.

To Cuturi, artistic diversity and inclusivity is fundamental in furthering the local visual arts scene. This is why he makes it a point to showcase a mix of high quality works from established as well as aspiring artists. Most recently, Cuturi Gallery presented a solo exhibition of world-renowned French experimental artist Lionel Sabatté’s works, alongside its first-ever c/discoveries exhibition, Stages and Mirrors.
