Artists
Salome Rigvava
Salome Rigvava was born in 1988 in Gagra, Abkhazia. She often focuses on a single cultural symbol and explores her subject in terms that are deeply personal. The figures are often females in different degrees of awareness. The tones are often soft but can take on a hyper-saturated and dark quality that lends to the psychology.
Salome graduated with a MFA at the New York Academy of Art, and continued her studies on a full scholarship at the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design with Professor Holger Bunk in 2014. Previously, she studied painting at the Tbilisi State Academy of Art. She has participated in many personal and group exhibitions all around the world and was an Artist in Residence at Art Mora Studio Program in Ridgefield, New Jersey during the summer of 2016.
Her works are currently in private collections in Germany, Japan, the USA, Sweden, the UK, Russia and her homeland of Georgia.
Kako Dzneladze
Kako Dzneladze, born in 1958, despite being a representative
of a generation of artists active in post-Soviet Georgia, began his artistic education at the I. Repin Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg. Following the training of this elite university, he has remained under the strong influence of figurative painting with conventional techniques. The themes closest to Kako are
classical – portrait, self-portrait, nudes, still life and landscapes. He is
deeply influenced by the impressionist, Art Nouveau or Art Deco styles.
Undoubtedly, Kako’s style reflects his life experiences born
into a country with a complicated history, often encouraging him to display
fairy-tale and poetic themes in his works, and “escaping” towards
symbolism.
