Jibson Khundadze belongs to the generation of Georgian artists from the 1950s and 1960s, known for introducing a new abstract wave in Georgian visual art. His work gradually moved away from the perception of realistic landscapes, as well as the stylistic elements of impressionism and academism. His visual language is characterized by a vibrant color palette, layered patches of color, irregular brushstrokes, a sense of depth, linear rhythms, and light-and-shade modeling.

In the later years of his career, Khundadze embraced styles such as fauvism and abstract expressionism. At the same time, he created figurative works on religious themes using a similar stylistic and visual approach. His Georgian landscapes, deeply rooted in his love for his homeland, reflect his enduring connection to his country’s geography, folklore, traditions, and culture.

Khundadze’s work evokes a profound sense of nostalgia, leaving a lasting impression on anyone fortunate enough to experience it. He remains a quintessential Georgian artist, whose creativity is imbued with a heartfelt affection for his homeland.
