Project ArtBeat - George Gagoshidze’s solo exhibition of artworks made in 2016-17.

Gagoshidze’s solo exhibition represents the transformation between landscape and abstract compositions. Till 2015, the artist’s inspiration stems from the nature and the mountainous landscapes are dominated in his works, the environment is generalized and close to the abstract art. Afterwards, the artist starts researching the borders between abstract and landscape art. Contrastive color spots and circular forms made of surface and line repetition are associated with mountains, but sometimes they are perceived as an aesthetic abstract form.
In order to create textured surface, Gagoshidze refers to the intensive colors and various materials: the artist uses oil paints in his canvas works, whereas watercolor, acryl, tempera and some non-traditional materials are used in paper works. The mixture of materials is distinguishing characteristic of his works.
