Good day, I am pleased to see you! Welcome to the Liza Fetissova gallery. As you walk in, the parquet creaks gently under your feet, the pheasant Fedia's attentive eye follows you.
You pass your hand on the wallpaper of pale flowers, you look around… at the works of art on the walls, on the chimney, on the consoles. I'll put on a kettle. Let’s have a tea ! sugar or honey ?
Liza Fetissova gallery is more of an ARTMATCHMAKING agency... let's see... we'll find a perfect match...
Slow your pace, take a deep breath. Here, we take in the images and objects slowly.
I have been artmatchmaking for 10 years. I've made a selection just for you! The best of Russian contemporary photography. But not only--not necessarily Russian, and not necessarily photographs. They are my treasures. After a bit of time, you will fall in love with a photograph… or a watercolor… or a ceramic… and you can buy it and take it, and have it at your home. Your fondness will grow. Maybe you will show it to your guests, and not on the screen, but for real. Indeed, we both agree, the viewing experience is not the same thing...
I am waiting for you at Russiantearoom… see you very soon..
Since its establishment in 2007 in Paris (during 10 years under Russiantearoom name), the main gallery expertise is photography, with a particular interest for the best of Russian (in a sense coming from ex-URSS territory) artists working with this specific medium.
In 2017, after conceiving the Russian presence at REVELATIONS art fair, dedicated to the fine crafts, at the Grand Palais in Paris, the gallery started exploring the craftsmen artists working with different materials. We juxtapose the photographers to the artists who's know-how level goes beyond its limits, giving birth to the unique, non-utilitarian pieces, charged with meaning.
The model of the classic gallery is changing, it is reinventing and transforming itself, adapting to the brave new world.
Today's Liza Fetissova gallery is free and nomade, with broader interests and goals: we invest particular parisian and not only parisian spaces, that have a history, a story to tell and a soul.
Liza Fetissova gallery acts also as an agency.
