The Dimitri Shevardnadze National Gallery of Georgia is hosting an anniversary exhibition dedicated to the Honored Artist of Georgia, Otar Sulava (1926–2000). This exhibition marks the artist’s first solo retrospective at the National Gallery and presents a comprehensive overview of his creative legacy.
Otar Sulava graduated from the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts in 1952. His teachers included Mose Toidze, Valentin Sherpilov, Sergo Kobuladze, and Ucha Japaridze. The artist’s creative career spanned five decades and followed a path of constant exploration and artistic experimentation. His oeuvre brings together works that differ strikingly in style and subject matter, reflecting the breadth and depth of his artistic vision.
The exhibition features approximately 100 works drawn from the collections of the State Museum of Art, the National Gallery, and the artist’s family.
Painting was the primary language of Otar Sulava’s diverse artistic expression. He devoted his entire life to exploring its inexhaustible expressive possibilities, leaving behind a rich and multifaceted artistic heritage.
The exhibition will open on February 5 at 6:00 PM and will run until March 15.
