LEVAN LAGIDZE

Artist in focus • Levan Lagidze (1958) - paints the imaginary city and its labyrinths. However, just as Macondo is based on its prototype Aracataca, Lagidze's cities originate from his native city. This is also confirmed by the fact that his early landscapes show houses suspended over the Mtkvari river in Tbilisi. Later they disappear and sink into a new geometric system with numerous brush strokes. A combination of rectangles, squares, geometric abstractions, also the orderly rhythmic repetition of forms, all these elements create his unique and accurate language.
