Liza Bobkova is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist, graduated from Saint Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design with a degree in metal processing. Later she organized a library of contemporary art on the basis of the academy and was a guest lecturer for master's students of the academy. In 2022, Liza launched a contemporary art fair “Tupik” at the ART4 Museum in Moscow, thanks to which young promising artists were able to present their debut personal projects at the museum. She is also the curator of Tupik edition-2023. Working with metal installations as complex individual and political statements, with the beginning of a special military operation in Ukraine, the artist spoke out openly against the unfolding actions.

Her personal exhibitions in 2022 were held at the Museum of the History of Music (Basel, Switzerland), Spread museum (Entrevo, France) and the Museum of the St. Petersburg Avant-garde. Liza has also been a participant foreign contemporary art fairs, such as Vienna Contemporary (Vienna, Austria) and BAD+ (Bordeaux, France). According to the Austrian magazine Les Nouveaux Riches, Liza is one of the prospective young artists of 2022. Bobkova's works are stored in significant Russian and foreign collections.

“The artist creates massive metal installations (brutal, heroic and at the same time precious and delicate) and works with graphics. The characteristic motif present in these both mediums is the wave, which can be interpreted as a pulse, a sound, or a beat that shapes space-time.”

Vladimir Dudchenko
