Baia Gallery – 30
‘The Magic of the Landscape and Abstraction’
at our gallery (A. Razmadze Str. 68)
The exhibition “The Magic of the Landscape and Abstraction” presents an important model of Georgian culture of the 20th century, which includes the forbidden course of abstract art in the conditions of Social Realism, the unofficial flow of Georgian painting, a progressive position, and the desire to share with international culture. The ideas of avant-garde and modernism, forcibly interrupted by Social Realism in the 1930s, are brought back to painting by the four stars of Georgian painting in a new form and break the closed system of Soviet ideology with the power of freedom of abstraction.
Aleksandre (Shura) Bandzeladze, Nikoloz (Koka) Ignatov, Guram (Khita) Kutateladze and Jibson Khundadze.
The exhibition will be on display till 01.02.2023
‘COLLECTOR’
at our gallery (Ingorokva str. 19a)
Baia Gallery continues the study of the Georgian cultural heritage through artworks preserved in private collections. The exhibition ‘Collector’ presents hitherto unknown works by major artists of the 20th century, unique materials preserved in the private collections, and rare items of Georgian culture. Such discoveries are highly significant for the research of little-known events, as well as highlighting the importance of private collections in terms of preserving cultural heritage. Private collections very often form the basis for museums, and enable privately owned and preserved treasures to be made accessible to the wider public.
Artists participating in the exhibition: Avto Varazi, David Kakabadze, Elene Akhvlediani, Lado Gudiashvili, Felix Varlamishvili, Mihaly Zichy, Kirill Zdanevich, Edmond Kalandadze, Vera Pagava, Tamar Abakelia, Vano Meliashvili, Sergo Kobuladze, Mikheil Khvitia, Elguja Berdzenishvili, Korneli Sanadze.
Exhibition “Collector,” Baia Gallery (Ingorokva Street 19a). From the 12th of January till the 1st of February.
