BlainSouthern is a contemporary art gallery established in September 2010. The gallery is located in Mayfair, London, at 21 Dering Street.

Until August 2010 the founders, Harry Blain and Graham Southern, were respectively CEO and director of Haunch of Venison gallery, which they started in 2002. Blain and Southern sold Haunch of Venison to Christie's International plc in 2007. During their time at the gallery they built up an international programme of artists, including Keith Tyson and Richard Long, both former winners of the Turner Prize.

Blain and Southern regulary feature in Art Review's "Power 100" for the top 100 important people in the contemporary art world.

The gallery opens on October 13 with 'Creation Condemned', an exhibition of new works by British artist Mat Collishaw.
