«Bins» (Fragments from Marina Tsurtsumia’s collection). 
I dedicate this exhibition to my father Roman Tsurtsumia - director and cameraman. It was he who discovered the magical world of painting to me, and I met many artists who are key to the history of art and became a collector in my youth. At the age of 14, I received gifts of paintings from my father’s friends - Rustam Hamdamov, Katya Medvedeva, Leonid Purygin. They were the basis of my collection.

I became a film director, but I didn’t lose my passion for collecting, on the contrary, it became a passion. Over the years, the collection no longer fit at home, but needed a gallery. The number of artists I knew grew, and I became an intermediary, recommending their work to friends, for which I received works of art. I also organized exhibitions for artists.

An internship in Berlin, with galleries on every corner, only strengthened the desire to open one’s own. When my friend and partner Giorgi Tashker proposed to open a small cafe-gallery on Flacone, I was delighted. So the microgallery «Chest of Drawers» was born. It had the atmosphere of an old grandmother’s apartment, smelled of coffee and fresh pastry. On 33 square meters we made 21 exhibitions. When the rent increased, we closed. 

But fate has given us another chance - in the Center of Modern Art Winzavod the room was vacated and we, working together with famous artists brothers Totibadze, decided to open a gallery. Gallery «Totibadze» - laboratory for identification of fine artists and demonstration of them to the city and the world. Communication with artists is the air of my life, the world of painting is my world. My collection reflects my personality, there are no paintings purchased for investment. The works are all very different, but they are united by the unconditional talent of the creators. I thank all the artists whose paintings are presented here for the friendship and commonality of views on the nature of things and I am delighted that I am surrounded by so many talented people.
