Rusudan Khizanishvili Georgia, b. 1979

Our times put trust in both physical and mental freedom to the test. Fake news has turned truth into a precious resource, raising the urgent question: Can we unquestioningly trust algorithms, templates, or AI-generated content? How do we recognize pre-programmed distortions and resist their influence?

Saelia Aparicio, a London-based multidisciplinary artist, Gonzalo García, a painter living in Mexico, and Rusudan Khizanishvili, based in Tbilisi, explore themes of vulnerability, trust, and power in their works—each with a distinct visual language.

The exhibition is curated by Nina Chkareuli-Mdivani, a Georgian curator based in New York, who focuses on contemporary art and social issues.

Galerie Kornfeld is more than pleased to introduce the solo exhibition “Beauty and the Beast” by Georgian artist Rusudan Khizanishvili.
In this mesmerising exhibition the renowned artist invites us through her dreamlike portals into a world where figures intertwine with nature escaping from reality and time.
A colourful journey that combines femininity, mythicism, nature and identity through tranquil and almost meditative compositions that share a passionate yet melancholic intensity.
Experimenting with perception and dimensions her symbolism sometimes hidden, challenges the viewer to observe carefully. Her creations are subjective to each individual viewer. The rich colours, the ancient connection towards nature, the intuitively crafted compositions, the theatricality and the innate individuality yet interconnectedness as human beings are what moves us and brings us in these other-worldly portals.

Galerie Kornfeld is delighted to announce it's ten year anniversary exhibition, wich will feature the artists that have come along with us through the decade. The anniversary exhibition will reveal touching glimpses of the past and the future, sensitive and exciting exchanges between first artistic attempts and more mature works. The works on show hint at inner struggle and transformation, the eternal search for what is hidden behind the visible.

Rusudan Khizanishvili (1979) lives and paints in Tbilisi, Georgia. She has received her two BFAs in Painting from J.Nikoladze Art School and from Tbilisi State Academy of Art. The fantastical beings on view in this exhibition are all part of these inner domains, partially invisible, yet always present. Deeply influenced by the duality of mind and spirit expressed in medieval art, her paintings on view create a cathedral that has dynamic tension deriving from the artistic imagination. Questions of self, connections to biology, cultural memory and myths, and the female body are all the subjects of an ongoing investigation for Khizanishvili, who shows maturity of purpose and mastery of colour.

Shutdown. Lockdown. Confirmations. Cancellations.
That might happen from time to time, the gallerist thinks. Occasionally an artist or a collector might cancel. This time, however, it's a collective, worldwide cancellation. And he tries to understand current events, just as the friends of art seek to read and interpret images. And the gallerist thinks. Cancel? Confirm? He thinks: These extraordinary times offer us the opportunity to pause momentarily, to reflect on what really matters, to feel what is taking place and to become aware of the consequences. At least from time to time.
