The artist works actively both in Georgia and abroad. His exhibitions have graced prestigious exhibition spaces in numerous countries worldwide. Berdyshev's art is recognized by a broad audience and holds an important place in private and museum collections around the globe.
My art is merely a pessimistic game. I create worlds where identifiable and abstract objects coexist, interacting beyond any physical or logical boundaries.
- Alex Berdyshev
Berdyshev’s work is an intriguing blend of distorted reality, pure abstraction, and surrealism. His pieces explore the essence of existence, the tension between the visible and the invisible, and question the reality of what we see. Through his art, Berdyshev invites the viewer into a dialogue with abstraction, encouraging a journey beyond the boundaries of reality.
ჩემთვის For me, the most important thing is the creative process itself. It is a game, a ritual, a lifestyle - it encompasses everything.
- Alex Berdyshev
Abstract surrealism is a deliberate choice for Berdyshev, reflecting his interest in the depths of the human psyche and the complexity of the human condition.
In Alex Berdyshev’s world, art serves as a bridge between the material and immaterial worlds - a space where surrealism is not an escape, but rather a deeper engagement with reality.
I draw inspiration from daily life, dreams, travels, books, and more. It can be any image or word. My imagination adds the "missing" details and creates an acceptable environment for all the fragmented and contradictory material. The images I create may have their own stories, and anyone can interpret them. Personal experience and imagination make such interpretations different and unique every time.
- Alex Berdyshev
The exhibition will be open for viewing from November 22 to December 15, 2024.
Gallery "Vanda" is open daily from 12:00 to 19:00.
