Majika Repaint

2018

Dedicace Gallery presents Mamuka Japharidze's solo exhibition "Majika Repaint". 

„Painted Adjika“ is a series of works, which are painted on the canvas and paper and focus on the topic of green and red pepper. It is part of a long-term complex project that demonstrates the process of growing the pepper until being smoked and processed. Photo and video documentation of “Majica” creation depicts seasonal changes at the orchard of the “Big Field Academy” where the artist monitored the pepper transformation and its interaction with the nature making invisible nuances of atmospheric changes visible. Dedicace Gallery presents results of this artistic ritual – images of photos that are transmitted to canvas with the help of colors.
