A dive into the London galleries that presented at the Liste Art Fair 2025
June 23, 2025
Founded in 1996 in Basel, Liste Art Fair emerged with a precise mission: to provide a platform for young, emerging galleries and artists on the cusp of wider recognition. In contrast to the blue-chip dominance of Art Basel, Liste positioned itself as a more experimental counterpart, spotlighting fresh voices in contemporary art and emphasising risk-taking projects that do not always make it into the mainstream global fair circuit.
Over the years, Liste has grown in reputation and changed directors, but it has never lost its essence. Many now-established galleries and artists (including names that dominate today’s institutional and market landscapes) first gained attention at the event. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year with a program of 99 proposals, the Fair once again explores “young art scenes and evolving forms of expression”, says new Director Nikola Dietrich: “not merely by tracing trends, but also by responding to shifts and disruptions.”
While other fairs expand commercially, Liste has remained focused on innovation, consistently encouraging exhibitors to display works by artists under the age of 40. Its legacy is not only in who it shows, but how it shapes the conversation in art world spaces where risk is gradually disappearing, and prominent artists' names are often prioritised, creating an infinite feedback loop with no space for experimentation. To celebrate Liste’s mission and the role the city of London had during its new edition, we dive into the proposals that London galleries have brought to the Liste Art Fair 2025.
Nicoletti – Ana Viktoria Dzinic
The young East London gallery, Nicoletti, established in 2019, introduces a multimedia installation by Ana Viktoria Dzinic that blurs the lines between photography, painting, and digital aesthetics. Dzinic’s work takes cues from the mediated nature of celebrity portraiture, specifically referencing the phenomenon of the “approve-before-post” culture prevalent among high-profile figures. Through a carefully staged floral arrangement and manipulated image-making techniques that mimic digital filters, the artist perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the “Poor Image”, described by artist Hito Steyerl in her famous e-flux essay. Her extra-manipulated portraits invite viewers to reflect on how painting is being shaped by internet visual culture and screens.
Rose Easton – Arlette
Rose Easton, a gallery launched in 2021, presents the multifaceted work of Arlette, whose practice gracefully traverses painting, sculpture, and jewellery design. Born in Mexico and now based in Switzerland, Arlette draws deeply from her cultural roots while also referencing the formal rigour of European craftsmanship. Her presentation reimagines the art fair booth as a performative retail space where art, luxury and craft converge. By celebrating ornamentation and tactility, Arlette’s work offers a critique of the economic and aesthetic conventions underpinning contemporary exhibitions, especially in commercial contexts.
Brunette Coleman – Marietta Mavrokordatou
Brunette Coleman, a relatively new London gallery established in 2023, features the contemplative photography of Marietta Mavrokordatou. Her images, often centred on the form of the eye, are created with a macro lens that mirrors the artist’s own impaired vision, resulting in soft-focus works that live in the tension between traditional photography and pure abstraction. Rather than functioning as conventional portraits, the images become meditations on perception and the act of seeing itself. As images that project a kind of internal mirror, Mavrokordatou’s universe speaks about the fading boundary between the physical world and subjective perception.
a. Squire – Evangeline Turner
Also founded in 2023, a. SQUIRE — founded by Archie Squire — returns to Liste with a solo presentation of new works by Evangeline Turner. The artist's practice draws on the dual forces of historical painting and personal mythology, often infusing her canvases with irreverent humour and symbolic forms. The work reflects on the shifting landscape of post-Brexit British identity, crafting scenes and characters that are half dreamlike, half perverse. Her colored surfaces carry a sense of longing and melancholy, offering a certain tenderness in equal measure as they conjure an uncanny world of familiar strangeness.
Copperfield, and Harlesden High Street – Larry Achiampong & Marcus Jefferson
Founded in 2014, South London gallery Copperfield presents a conceptual and collaborative installation by Larry Achiampong and Marcus Jefferson (Harlesden High Street) that transforms the booth into a site of critical engagement. Achiampong’s part of the space draws from classroom aesthetics to present a chalkboard-like verbal exercises echoing his Ghanaian heritage and experience in Britain (“Everybody wants to be black until it’s time to be black”). Jefferson extends this conversation through sculptural interventions using materials associated with underground economies and racialised spaces, such as clingfilm, Vaseline, and disposable packaging. Together, the two artists created a politically charged examination of race, identity, and systemic inequality.
Galerina – Sarah Staton
Edgy Victoria Park gallery Galerina presents a new series of “anti-paintings” by British artist Sarah Staton. Staton inverts traditional painting techniques by bleaching colour out of canvas rather than applying pigment, creating subtle textural fields that explore absence and presence. The pieces reference themes of industrial production, artisanal labour, and the undervalued work often associated with craft and feminist histories. Her proposal at Liste highlights her ongoing interrogation of materiality, societal hierarchies, and the intersections between visual culture and labour.

Together, the two artists created a politically charged examination of race, identity, and systemic inequality.
Galerina – Sarah Staton
Edgy Victoria Park gallery Galerina presents a new series of “anti-paintings” by British artist Sarah Staton. Staton inverts traditional painting techniques by bleaching colour out of canvas rather than applying pigment, creating subtle textural fields that explore absence and presence. The pieces reference themes of industrial production, artisanal labour, and the undervalued work often associated with craft and feminist histories. Her proposal at Liste highlights her ongoing interrogation of materiality, societal hierarchies, and the intersections between visual culture and labour.
Founded in 1996 in Basel, Liste Art Fair emerged with a precise mission: to provide a platform for young, emerging galleries and artists on the cusp of wider recognition. In contrast to the blue-chip dominance of Art Basel, Liste positioned itself as a more experimental counterpart, spotlighting fresh voices in contemporary art and emphasising risk-taking projects that do not always make it into the mainstream global fair circuit.
Over the years, Liste has grown in reputation and changed directors, but it has never lost its essence. Many now-established galleries and artists (including names that dominate today’s institutional and market landscapes) first gained attention at the event. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year with a program of 99 proposals, the Fair once again explores “young art scenes and evolving forms of expression”, says new Director Nikola Dietrich: “not merely by tracing trends, but also by responding to shifts and disruptions.”
While other fairs expand commercially, Liste has remained focused on innovation, consistently encouraging exhibitors to display works by artists under the age of 40. Its legacy is not only in who it shows, but how it shapes the conversation in art world spaces where risk is gradually disappearing, and prominent artists' names are often prioritised, creating an infinite feedback loop with no space for experimentation. To celebrate Liste’s mission and the role the city of London had during its new edition, we dive into the proposals that London galleries have brought to the Liste Art Fair 2025.
Nicoletti – Ana Viktoria Dzinic
The young East London gallery, Nicoletti, established in 2019, introduces a multimedia installation by Ana Viktoria Dzinic that blurs the lines between photography, painting, and digital aesthetics. Dzinic’s work takes cues from the mediated nature of celebrity portraiture, specifically referencing the phenomenon of the “approve-before-post” culture prevalent among high-profile figures. Through a carefully staged floral arrangement and manipulated image-making techniques that mimic digital filters, the artist perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the “Poor Image”, described by artist Hito Steyerl in her famous e-flux essay. Her extra-manipulated portraits invite viewers to reflect on how painting is being shaped by internet visual culture and screens.
Rose Easton – Arlette
Rose Easton, a gallery launched in 2021, presents the multifaceted work of Arlette, whose practice gracefully traverses painting, sculpture, and jewellery design. Born in Mexico and now based in Switzerland, Arlette draws deeply from her cultural roots while also referencing the formal rigour of European craftsmanship. Her presentation reimagines the art fair booth as a performative retail space where art, luxury and craft converge. By celebrating ornamentation and tactility, Arlette’s work offers a critique of the economic and aesthetic conventions underpinning contemporary exhibitions, especially in commercial contexts.
Brunette Coleman – Marietta Mavrokordatou
Brunette Coleman, a relatively new London gallery established in 2023, features the contemplative photography of Marietta Mavrokordatou. Her images, often centred on the form of the eye, are created with a macro lens that mirrors the artist’s own impaired vision, resulting in soft-focus works that live in the tension between traditional photography and pure abstraction. Rather than functioning as conventional portraits, the images become meditations on perception and the act of seeing itself. As images that project a kind of internal mirror, Mavrokordatou’s universe speaks about the fading boundary between the physical world and subjective perception.
a. Squire – Evangeline Turner
Also founded in 2023, a. SQUIRE — founded by Archie Squire — returns to Liste with a solo presentation of new works by Evangeline Turner. The artist's practice draws on the dual forces of historical painting and personal mythology, often infusing her canvases with irreverent humour and symbolic forms. The work reflects on the shifting landscape of post-Brexit British identity, crafting scenes and characters that are half dreamlike, half perverse. Her colored surfaces carry a sense of longing and melancholy, offering a certain tenderness in equal measure as they conjure an uncanny world of familiar strangeness.
Copperfield, and Harlesden High Street – Larry Achiampong & Marcus Jefferson
Founded in 2014, South London gallery Copperfield presents a conceptual and collaborative installation by Larry Achiampong and Marcus Jefferson (Harlesden High Street) that transforms the booth into a site of critical engagement. Achiampong’s part of the space draws from classroom aesthetics to present a chalkboard-like verbal exercises echoing his Ghanaian heritage and experience in Britain (“Everybody wants to be black until it’s time to be black”). Jefferson extends this conversation through sculptural interventions using materials associated with underground economies and racialised spaces, such as clingfilm, Vaseline, and disposable packaging.
