PA Gallery
Parshina Avanesova Gallery
Founded in 2019 by Elena Parshina and Nadezhda Avanesova, PA Gallery showcases modern and contemporary art by Russian and international artists. We collaborate with mid-career artists who have earned recognition within the art community and with emerging artists, supporting their efforts to articulate their own creative language and framing the appropriate context for them.
PA Gallery is also particularly interested in providing a platform for “unofficial” art of the late 20th century. Our varied collection of Soviet Nonconformist Art includes Vladimir Tryamkin, Evgeny Chubarov, Vladislav Zubarev, Evgeny Mikhnov-Voitenko, Sergey Alferov, etc.
Our consistent investigative interest in and passion for art fuels the gallery’s endeavors. PA Gallery is a living, growing, multimedia ecosystem with plenty of room for all generations of artists to express their ideas. Here, the networking, expertise-sharing, seeding, and propagation of new ideas never stops.
Along with the solo and group exhibitions that PA Gallery hosts on a regular basis, we also assist in advancing curatorial projects where young curators get the support they need to give center stage to modernity’s most urgent topics.
PA Gallery often contributes to Russian and international art fairs and partners extensively with various institutions and foundations to pave the way for creative exchanges, create a real community for those in the art sphere, influence intellectual evolution, and strengthen international cultural partnerships.
The works of PA Gallery artists have been featured in international biennials, such as the prestigious Venice Biennale, Manifesta, etc. The gallery artists have been awarded national and international prizes such as Kandinsky Prize, Sergey Kuryokhin Award, The Innovation Prize. Their works are the part of private and public collections around the world, including the Multimedia Art Museum, Tretyakov Gallery, Russian Museum, Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Ruarts Foundation, Sigg Art Foundation, Aksenov Family Foundation, Sandretto Foundation, and many others.
