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 co-exist in the artist’s 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, avant-garde word in Georgian painting, in the event of weakening of the Soviet regime, and established itself as the "80s" generation in Georgian art.
