ABOUT GALLERY

Zen Contemporary Art Gallery was founded in Zagreb, Croatia in 2014 with the aim of providing better and higher-quality representation of visual artists on both the domestic and international art scenes. The gallery is exclusively focused on contemporary art and is dedicated to showcasing the works of prominent visual artists from the younger and middle generations, as well as discovering and promoting emerging talents. In addition to regularly organizing exhibitions, the gallery aims to foster international collaboration with foreign art galleries and participate in international art fairs to better present Croatian visual artists in the global art market.

The Gallery is founded and run by Frankica Mitrović Mihić, independent curator and art historian who has a MA from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York where she also acquired the professional title of Art advisor. During her stay in New York she worked in P.S. 1, the oldest and largest organization in the United States devoted solely to the promotion of the contemporary art. She has organized several exhibitions of contemporary artists from New York and worked as an art advisor in the formation of several private and corporate art collections. She has written many professional works and held a number of presentations of the contemporary art and artists. She worked as a curator in the Museum of Contemporary art in Zagreb.
In her long years working experience in the art field as the curator and manager of the gallery she has organised and curated a number of exhibitions and has participated at many Contemporary Art Fairs both in Croatia and abroad. She managed to establish a collaboration with several Italian galleries where today selected Croatian artists regularly exhibit.
