What Over The Influence does

Over The Influence is a privately held contemporary art gallery founded in 2013 and operating physical exhibition spaces in three cities: Hong Kong (52 Wyndham Street, Central), Los Angeles (833 East 3rd Street), and Bangkok (81 Tri Mit Road, Talat Noi). The gallery represents contemporary artists whose work explores intersections of visual art with architecture, design, music, and fashion, including recognized names such as Shepard Fairey, Invader, Camilla Engström, Verapat Sitipol, and Ben Arpea. It generates revenue primarily through primary-market sales of represented artworks to collectors and institutions, with prices quoted privately on request in line with standard gallery practice.

The business operates on an event-driven go-to-market model: rotating exhibitions at its three gallery locations generate collector interest, complemented by participation in major international art fairs including Art Basel, Art Fair Tokyo, Art Central Hong Kong, Art Los Angeles Contemporary, Untitled Art Miami Beach, and Art021 Shanghai. Marketing is conducted through the gallery website, an email newsletter, earned media coverage in publications such as HypeArt, Bangkok Post, and Fah Thai Magazine, and a WeChat presence targeting Asian collectors. In 2021 the gallery introduced an online viewing room platform to extend remote access to its exhibitions. Legal governance is under the State of California despite the gallery's Asia-centric operational footprint.

The company has 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no management team disclosures beyond Director Krysta Eder. Revenue figures are not publicly available. The business model is best characterized as a high-touch, curatorial-led primary-market gallery reliant on a concentrated base of high-net-worth collectors and institutions, with organic rather than capital-driven geographic expansion.

Direct peers

• Tang Contemporary Art: Asia-headquartered contemporary gallery with presence in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Beijing, and Shanghai — overlapping two of OTI's three cities (Bangkok and Hong Kong) and competing directly for the same Asian collectors.
• Pace Gallery: Major multi-city contemporary gallery with locations in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, London, Tokyo, and Seoul. Comparable through global footprint and focus on blue-chip contemporary artists, though materially larger in scale and headcount.
• Lehmann Maupin: Multi-city contemporary gallery with locations in New York, Hong Kong, Seoul, and London. Closely comparable in operating model — small staff-to-space ratio, heavy fair participation, and a curatorial emphasis on international contemporary artists with interdisciplinary practices.
• Perrotin: Multi-city contemporary art gallery with locations across Asia (Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai, Seoul), Europe, and the U.S. Operates a similar international, fair-anchored model focused on blue-chip and rising contemporary artists — directly comparable artist type and geographic footprint.
• White Cube: International contemporary gallery with galleries in London, New York, Hong Kong, and Seoul. Comparable in operating globally with a blue-chip, contemporary-only focus and a heavy art-fair cadence.
• Hauser & Wirth: Global contemporary gallery with locations including Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Zurich, New York, and London. Comparable multi-city contemporary model, with curatorial breadth similar to OTI's interdisciplinary framing.
• Thaddaeus Ropac: Multi-city contemporary gallery with locations in Paris, London, Salzburg, Seoul, and New York. Comparable blue-chip, interdisciplinary contemporary model with strong fair presence.

Broad incumbents

• Gagosian: Largest global contemporary gallery network with locations in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Hong Kong, Geneva, and Rome. Competes for the highest-end blue-chip artists and collectors but is structurally much larger and more diversified.
• David Zwirner: One of the largest global contemporary galleries with galleries in New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong, and Los Angeles. Overlaps in cities and fair circuits but operates at significantly greater scale and breadth than OTI.

Regional players

• Kiang Malingue: Hong Kong–based contemporary gallery with a satellite program; comparable curatorially with a focus on contemporary international artists working across painting, sculpture, and installation — but operates primarily from a single Asian base.
