Remix

2018

Natia Kalandadze's personal exhibition under the title “Remix” is some kind of attempt to manifest her worldview, creative experience and technical capabilities.

Natia Kalandadze is an artist from Georgian cultural space. The 1990’s was very hard period of Georgian history. Part of the population, facing the threat of physical destruction, emigrated from the country. One of them was Natia Kalandadze. She continued to live and study in Vienna, the capital of Austria. The artist successfully graduated from the Vienna Academy of Arts. The artistic world created by Natia Kalandadze is an attempt to approach the essence of existence. For her the excessive dynamics of today's life coincides with the rhythm of the calculation. These feelings become the reason for the author’s artistic irony. Mixed material, used for creation of the work, acquires a qualitative meaning and becomes the spoken language of her creative work. The communication dictionary, characteristic for the pictorial mixes created by Natia Kalandadze, is diverse, which is the result of her philosophical transformation.

Thus, Natia Kalandadze’s exhibition “Remix” in Vienna gallery “Overground” is a sort of “collection” of works, where visitors can get acquainted with almost all the characteristic trends of the artist's creative work
