ATINAT: ARTIST IN FOCUS MERAB ABRAMISHVILI

Merab Abramishvili (19572006) I used to dream of being tiger tamer in the childhood. I did not manage to realize that dream, instead I make my childhood dreams alive on canvas Merab Abramishvili. The artist applied The gesso technique, characteristic to frescos of medieval centuries to create easel painting. Ateni Sioni frescos, seen in the expedition, have become his first inspiration. The tradition of eastern miniature and Georgian fresco coexist in the artists works. The generalized world that the artist conveys in his compositions is at the same time remarkably real. Merab Abramishvili is a representative of the generation that said a new, avantgarde word in Georgian painting, in the event of weakening of the Soviet regime, and established itself as the 80s generation in Georgian art.
