Founded in 2018 by K. Chris Durrah, artHAUS is a forerunner of the Industrial Abstract Art movement, fusing raw industrial ambiance with aluminum, glass, iron, and concrete, tempered by a stark minimalist sensibility. These elements are reinterpreted across domestic, professional, and cultural environments—including the home, office, salon, and exhibition space
K.Chris integrates interdisciplinary practices, experimentation, and vision to create the “culture haus”. A space where diverse forms of art converge to define the artHAUS ethos.
This evolving movement culminated in the establishment of a contemporary art gallery in Medellín, Colombia, offering a forward-thinking platform for innovative and immersive artistic expression. artHAUS opened with its inaugural exhibition, Exposición VIDA, in July 2025 in La Candelaria, Centro Medellín. The exhibition brought together art, fashion, and photography under the unifying theme VIDA, celebrating the raw spirit of love, color, and the vitality of humanity.
Widely recognized as original, groundbreaking, and unique, the exhibition’s curation of imagery, form, color, theme, music, and ambiance created an immersive and distinctly creative experience.
We facilitate exhibitions, special projects, and commissions of large or small scale for public and private collections. Our mission is to support and elevate local artists while fostering cultural exchange through the inclusion of international artists, creating a vibrant and inclusive gallery community.
