Aktis Gallery, based in St. James’ s London, has a focus on Russian émigré artists who emigrated to Paris in the first half of the 20th century as well as non-conformist and abstract artists of the Soviet era. To compliment these European painters, the gallery also house a growing collection of works by renowned Chinese artists living in Paris during the same period.
