[Artist focus] Galerie Eric Mouchet Brussels is delighted to announce Liza Sivakova’s (Liza Sivakova) first solo exhibition in Belgium, ‘Under the Chandelier’ from September 10th to October 31st.
➞ Preview: Tuesday 8 September from 5 to 9 pm
➞ RendezVous opening: Thursday 10 September from 1 to 9 pm
Liza Sivakova’s practice investigates the visual mechanisms through which power is constructed, legitimised, and remembered. Combining archival imagery, found photographs, collage, and her own materials, she creates multilayered, transhistorical paintings in which historical realities and fiction converge. By appropriating and reconfiguring familiar visual languages, symbols, and historical references, her work examines how images shape political narratives, collective perception, and systems of authority.
Educated at the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts, Sivakova continued her artistic development at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden and the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris.
Her work is held in the collections of the Städtische Galerie Dresden, the STRABAG Art Collection, and the Kunstsammlung des Bodenseekreises, and she was recently featured by ARTE.
