Marchand Gallery is a local art bureau focusing on Russian fine arts from the second half of the 20th and 21st centuries. It showcases works by masters with academic training who employ extraordinary techniques and styles within the modernist course of contemporary Russian art. The gallery presents paintings, graphics, sculptures, and design objects that combine individual imagination and aesthetics with high-level craftsmanship. Since its inception in 2023, Marchand Gallery has been hosting regular meetings with artists and organizing events in both individual and closed formats.
As an art research bureau, Marchand Gallery also collects artifacts, testimonies from contemporaries, and archival materials about the teaching systems and methods in Moscow's nonconformist art studios. The primary focus of their research is on the Sitnikov school, named after V. Y. Sitnikov (1915-1987). Through these efforts, the gallery contributes to the preservation and study of an important aspect of Russian art history, particularly the nonconformist movement that emerged during the Soviet era.
