Shtager Gallery at START Art Fair

Shtager Gallery was founded in St Petersburg by Marina Shtager, a Russian-born art historian, Mariinsky Theatre spokeswoman and gallerist with 15 years of experience. In 2016, the gallery
relocated to London.

At START Art Fair 2020, taking place 21-25 of October in Saatchi gallery, Shtager Gallery will present leading contemporary Russian artists Alexander Shishkin-Hokusai, who recently represented Russia at the 58th Venice Biennale, and Marina Alexeeva. They will showcase their unique digital art via a series of videos and installations.

In addition, Japanese artist Yusuke Akamatsu, who uses his own fingers as his brush and his iPhone as his canvas, will introduce his new series of diptychs related to Pablo Picasso’s
Guernica. The presentation will be coordinated by Natalia Bezrukova.

Showing with Shtager Gallery for the first time and paying tribute to traditional canvas painting is artist Katya Granova, whose large-scale works are dedicated to beloved Russian drama actress Vera Komissarzhevskaya.
