From 5 to 25 May gallery "Wanda" will host Paata Merabishvili's first personal exhibition in Georgia "De'formation".
Paata Merabishvili, sculptor and designer, belongs to the generation of Georgian artists who started their creative work in the 90s.
Due to various circumstances, after graduating from the Tbilisi State Art Academy, Paata continued his work outside of Georgia, where he soon gained recognition.
Paata Merabishvili has taken part in many international exhibitions or symposiums, and his works are preserved in various important collections around the world.
After many years, the sculptor returned to Georgia and will present to our society for the first time with an exhibition where up to 25 of his graphic and pictorial works and 13 sculptures will be presented.
Based on the deep knowledge of culture, technologies and materials of the world art, the sculptor creates his own, diverse artistic world. Being a successor of traditions, he masterfully brings together various artistic trends, which serve the basis for the sculptor’s own creative method.
Despite the abstract style characteristic of Paata Maerabishvbili’s works, his sculptures still remain within the context of figurative art. The works of the artist are distinguished by intensive search of daring experiments and plastic expressiveness. Paata Merabishvili uses the method of deformation of form and body, through which he creates new, modern and unique artistic images.
Paata Merabishvili sets a high value on color, which he boldly uses in his works. Light, monochromatic and sated colors enable the viewers to feel their plastic features, dynamics, expressiveness and rhythm.
For Paata Merabishvili, being a sculptor is “the inner state of perception of everything in the space, where even the thought itself has volume and color”.
Opening: Friday, May 5, 18:00
