As It Is - Giorgi Chkheidze
Presented by Erti Gallery at Artarea exhibition space, Tbilisi, Georgia.
The exhibition presented paintings and works on paper depicting nothing concrete. We can view them as visual experiments and at the same time, it is related to the simple and complicated natural forms, which sometimes we see with the naked eye, through microscope or telescope. With his special technique, chkheidze is spraying colours on different surfaces (canvas / paper). As a result, we got unusual pictures, where we can’t notice paintbrush or another trace of artist. There are created microworlds with little forms and repeated geometric elements.
Presented works beside different points of view and colour changes are characterised with different materials and contrast size of paintings and works on paper. Same colour, surface sensation, the shape has a different impact in each picture. Connections, similarities and differences show us how varied and limitless can be a range of impressions of minimalistic forms. For an ant a piece of rock could be the peak… little lake could be an ocean for other life forms…
