Description

Gia Edzgveradze creates his powerful but in the same time very ironic installations from plants, vegetables, everyday objects and black-and-white paintings where he uses lines, contours or texts only. The humour derives from formal allusions as well as from his attitude of putting the objects into strange contexts. The different objects and media come together into a coherent artwork. He criticises our stereotypes in his vulgar inscriptions and in his video works by questioning those things, which are accepted by all of us despite of the fact that nobody understands them, but it is more convenient this way.
