Giorgi Gugushvili Exhibition "Calligraphic Compositions" [National Gallery]

2020

Giorgi Gugushvili's works are distinguished by conciseness, expressiveness and monumentality. The artist perceives reality sharply and uncompromisingly, and even periodically imperatively.

The calligraphic compositions presented at the exhibition are a completely new stage in the author's work. In 21 compositions performed in different media, the monumental vision of the artist is transformed into a dynamic and expressive flow. The collection may also remind you of the laconic and sophisticated expression of Japanese poetry.

According to art critic Keta Gabiani - "Giorgi Gugushvili's works have a very strong and sharply individual expression, which may be difficult and incomprehensible for some, but for those who understand the language of such uncompromising and expressive works - this exhibition will be full of new, exciting And many other pleasant discoveries."
