The Gallery
Contemporary Art in the Painters' Village
Our Story
In 2018, Lila Roz opened Galerie Roz In Winter at 61 Grande Rue in Barbizon. She chose this village for its historical connection to the Barbizon School and for the light that permeates the neighbouring forest.
120 m² of space, one exhibition per month, around twenty artists represented in total: painting, sculpture, photography, jewellery. Lila selects them according to her own affinities, without conforming to market trends.
What the gallery adds to exhibitions: private views, meetings with artists, workshops, and long-term support for collectors.
Barbizon, the Painters' Village
In the nineteenth century, painters left their Parisian studios to settle on the edge of the Fontainebleau Forest. Millet, Rousseau, Corot and a few others founded the Barbizon School there, at the origin of landscape painting in open air and what would become Impressionism.
The village has retained the atmosphere that had attracted them: the Grande Rue lined with studios, the changing light of the forest, the silence at the forest's edge. Several thousand visitors come there each year.
Galerie Roz In Winter continues in this tradition: bringing the Barbizon heritage into dialogue with contemporary creation.
Hanging Rights
The gallery operates on the principle of hanging fees. Artists wishing to exhibit pay an entry fee that covers provision of space, lighting, communication (social media, newsletter, invitation cards) and organisation of the private view.
This model allows us to welcome both emerging and established artists. A commission is applied to sales made during the exhibition.
