SHALVA KIKODZE

SHALVA
KIKODZE

Shalva Kikodze (შალვა ქიქოძე. 1894-1921) was born in Bakhvi village, Ozurgeti region.

In 1908, at the age of 14, his first caricature was published in the Georgian humorous magazine "The Devil's Whip”.

Between 1914 and 1917, Shalva Kikodze pursued his higher education studies in Moscow. Kikodze studied painting in Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.

In 1918, the artist created artistic decorations for several plays staged by G. Jabadari: E. Brie’s “Religion,” D. Jacos’ “Like Leaves,” and E. Rostand's “White Dinner,” among others. 

In October 1921 Kikodze’s works were exhibited at "La Licorne" Gallery in Paris.

Shortly after, Shalva Kikodze tragically died at age 27.
