The Exhibition of Manana Tumanishvili

Manana Tumanishvili  about 70 artworks created in different techniques during the last decade will be presented at the exhibition. The artist uses mixed techniques along with watercolors. Using various paints and techniques (acrylic, pastel, gouache, ink, monotype) she enhances the soft or solid shapes of the living body. Sometimes the transparency of the watercolor is replaced by pastosity. Figures or shapes of objects with coloured spots emanate from depths of darkness. Manana Tumanishvili has been passing on her talent, knowledge, and experience to the new generation since 1966: She teaches art history at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts and shares her experience of working with complex watercolor techniques with novice artists. Since 1968 she has been actively participating in exhibitions in Georgia and abroad.

The album of Manana Tumanishvili was published as part of the competition announced by the Ministry of Culture of Georgia – “Promoting the publication of anniversary books-albums in the field of fine and applied arts”.
