Beyond the Homeland

From September 6 to November 3, the Dimitri Shevardnadze National Gallery presents
Beyond the Homeland, a joint exhibition featuring the works of immigrant artists Felix
Varlamishvili, Vera Pagava, Vano Enoukidze, and Michel Bilanichvili.

The exhibition highlights the artworks of these four artists, who left Georgia for various
reasons in the 1920s. They grew up in exile and established themselves as French
artists; as a result, none of them returned to Georgia, instead living and working in
Paris. During that period, Western culture was in a state of flux, which is reflected in
their art. However, despite being shaped within the same artistic environment, the works
of these four artists are distinctly different from one another.

The artworks are collected from Georgian and European private collections.
