Gazelli Art House http://gazelliarthouse.com/about-us/
Contemporary gallery Gazelli Art House supports a wide range of international artists, presenting a broad and dynamic programme to a diverse audience through global public projects and exhibition spaces in London and Baku.
Gazelli Art House was founded in 2003 in Baku, Azerbaijan where it held exhibitions with Azeri artists. Having hosted conceptually interlinked off-site exhibitions across London, founder and director of Gazelli Art House, Mila Askarova, opened a permanent space on Dover Street, London in March 2012.

Mila credits her mother Dr Hamzayeva (Dr Z) as inspiring her love of the arts from an early age. Mila started her career at Sotheby’s before moving on to work for one of London’s top galleries. She set up Gazelli Art House, a contemporary art gallery on Dover Street in Mayfair, in 2012 after a series of successful pop-up exhibitions.

voat post re Soho House : Meghan Markle's BFF Misha Nonoo and her very interesting family and pals- Paddle8, Marina Abramovic. Are there links with extreme Wahhabism and the British intelligence services?
There is some speculation that Misha Nonoo ex-wife of Paddle8 founder Alexander Gilkes, introduced Markle to Prince Harry: https://www.thejc.com/news/the-diary/meet-misha-nonoo-the-jewish-matchmaker-who-brought-harry-and-meghan-together-1.449219

James Ostrer’s foodie hell
The Ego System is at Gazelli Art House, London, from 15 September to 30 October (gazelliarthouse.com)
We often talk of chefs whose food is their art. For James Ostrer, however, his art is food. When he unveiled his latest portrait at a genteel Hong Kong art fair in March, eyeballs bulged.
The artist’s rendition of Donald Trump – the centrepiece of his latest exhibition – plays with food to disturbing effect, with fish as flesh, a pig’s snout, sheep eyes and a half-eaten jam and cream croissant as the politician’s mouth.

Russian man suspends himself from a London building in the name of art—and LGBT rights
The multi-talented artist, curator, film director—and your correspondent’s one-time Russian publisher—Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich is known for his extreme and provocative actions. These have included gate-crashing last May’s Met Gala wedged naked into a plastic box as a “Foundling” and, in 2009, participating in Marina Abramovic’s performance fest at Manchester’s Whitworth Art Gallery with just his mouth on display for visitors to feed. His latest series, Temporary Monuments, finds Pavlov-Andreevich using his body to address the issue of contemporary slavery.
Last night, the intrepid artist-campaigner was yet again testing his physical limits—whilst also drawing large crowds and stopping traffic—by dangling precariously for five hours outside the upper floor window of Gazelli Art House in Mayfair’s Dover Street.

Azerbaijani skincare company Gazelli has plans to launch a three-treatment room spa location in London in Q3 this year. This ‘Gazelli House’ project represents one of many luxury skincare-branded spa openings this year, including the upcoming House of Elemis; the recently launched Caudalie day spa in the US; and the Parisian Charme d’Orient spa boutique.
The Gazelli House London is a three-storey townhouse facility and will feature three treatment-rooms on the ground floor – fitted with treatment beds by Gharieni – for clients to learn from skin specialists based on the teachings of Dr Zarifa Hamzayeva, co-founder of Gazelli. The other co-founder of the business is Jamila Askarova, Hamzayeva’s first daughter.
On the second floor of the house will be a ‘living room’ for events, which will involve a choice of educational seminars, interactive workshops, lectures and film screenings.
This level of the house will also welcome a variety of artists to exhibit their works. The incorporation of art into this spa’s social hub is related to Hamzayeva’s second daughter’s curation of contemporary art. Mila Askarova, the second daughter, runs a commercial art organisation called Gazelli Art House with branches in both London’s Mayfair and Baku in Azerbaijan.
The top floor, dubbed ‘sky parlour’, will offer tailored consultations with resident and visiting experts and will feature sessions on topics including colour therapy, sound healing, yoga, hypnotherapy, nutrition and ayurveda.
Gazelli has a number of spa partners around the world, including the two London locations Josh Wood Atelier in Holland Park and Urban Retreat at Harrods. There is also a 2,500sq m (26,910sq ft) flagship Gazelli spa in Baku and the Raffles Istanbul, which launched in September 2014, has taken on the skincare brand in its spa.
