Georgian National Museum within the project "Contemporary Art Gallery" presents Vakho Bugadze's exhibition "Three, Four" at Tbilisi History Museum.
The event will take place at Ioseb Grishashvili Tbilisi History Museum (Karvasla) on June 27 at 7 pm.
Vakho Bugadze, a Georgian painter and sculptor, is one of the most distinguished representatives of contemporary art. His creative path is characterized by the art, sculpture, refinement of artistic possibilities and a sharp perception of reality.
“According to the author, black and white photos, where photo paper was damaged due to certain inaccuracies, varnish, sometimes changing the color altogether, mostly taken by amateur photographers in 1970s, became the inspiration of the exhibition. Sometimes negative and positivity appeared at the same time in one photo. The exhibition reflects the searches of contemporary art and includes conceptually loaded and extensive works,” reads the description of the event.
Born on 18 April 1964 in Tbilisi, he graduated from the Department of Sculpture at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts in 1991.
Recently, he has had various exhibitions in Tbilisi and Batumi, as well as internationally, such as: Art Exhibition "Aleppo", “Zero”, ”Trinity”, “Suburb”, ”One, Two”, etc.
Exhibition “Zero” opened on June 4 at Dimitri Shevardnadze National Gallery.
“The process of painting from September 2017 till May 2019 was based entirely on the unpredictable. These unforeseen contingencies were preconditioned by the method and the paints (watercolors) applied in the process. It was impossible to see the result as soon as I finished work. Only the next day I was able to observe the picture thoroughly. I didn’t know how it would dry in twenty-four hours, what surprises the water applied lavishly in paints would offer. In a way, my state resembled the state of a person who is looking forward to an important telephone call in the morning... Every other day started with the same expectation, and from the same point – zero” said Vakho Bugadze.
Together with Bughadze, artists Gogi Okropiridze and Katrin Bolt also participate in the project.
Within the frames of the exhibition, documentary film about Vakho Bugadze will also be presented.
Attendance at the opening of the exhibition is free of charge.
Georgian National Museum unifies several leading museums in Georgia.
