GLIMPSE IN GALLERY - LEVAN TSUTSKIRIDZE'S EXHIBITION

#Glimpseingallery - Levan Tsutskiridze’s exhibition at ATINATI’S Cultural Center presents works from the ATINATI collection, alongside pieces from private collections and the Tsutskiridze family collection. The artist’s large-scale canvases, as well as various graphic works are on show. Levan Tsutskiridze (1926-2021) is one of Georgia’s most renowned artists, standing next to those who laid the foundation of contemporary Georgian art. His creative range is wide - not limited by an interest in easel art alone, Tsutskiridze also worked productively in monumental painting. From 1983 to 1986, he decorated the interior of Tbilisi Sioni Cathedral. He also made illustrations for various literary works, including ‘The Knight in the Panther’s Skin’ by Shota Rustaveli, ‘The Martyrdom of Holy Queen Shushanik’ by Iakob Tsurtaveli, ‘A Toast’ by Grigol Orbeliani, Vazha- Pshavela’s poems, and ‘Faust’ by Goethe. Levan Tsutskiridze’s artistic method developed over the years, based on European artistic experience, especially on the Renaissance art tradition, which he then synthesized with the ideological and formal system of centuries-old Georgian mural painting.
