This painting was on display at the exhibition Ultramodern Nihilism in 1998 at the Ludwig Museum, as part of an installation of 30 paintings. Edzgveradze often arranges his individual works into larger installations. He is still practising his unique creative method, rows of paintings with black lines on white background. This simple method is rendered uniquely charac¬teristic by the artist’s highly sensitive technique of lineation. This lineation originates in Georgian script and oriental calligra¬phy. Not incidentally, he uses scripts in his paintings, sometimes independently, and sometimes accompanying the images. In addition to the traditional requisites of still lifes, such as the mug or the bowl, Still-life features an additional, entirely contemporary motif: the remote control. The brand name “Grundig” can be discerned on the object, to make sure that the spectator is jolted out of the philosophical perpetuality of still lifes into the transitoriness of contemporary everydays. The contrasting of traditions with the present day is a recurring feature of Edzgveradze’s art.
