Exhibition of Niko Lomashvili's works [National Gallery]

2019

The title "about one height" refers to the specific approach of the artist to his works: in the visual and conceptual structure they are all equal, but each of them has a special role and from different angles indicates the subconscious dynamics, the physical embodiment of which is shown in the exhibition.

Niko Lomashvili's works seem to go beyond the recent "mainstream" tendency to deliberately de-aestheticize the work of art. From the message and the concept it is completely thoughtfully transferred to aesthetics, somewhat Protestant and thus important.

"At about one height" is a manifestation of the artist's aesthetic pursuits, where the moral-ethical, socio-political or philosophical context seems to be in the background. ".
