As a graduate sstudent he worked on \u00a0the equestrian statue of the founding king of Tbilisi, the legendary Vakhtang Gorgasali. At that time, the erection of monuments to Georgian kings and famous military leaders was still prohibited, however, with the beginning of the <em>Thaw<\/em> \u00a0(Ottepel) a national selection competition was announced for the project of the statue of Vakhtang Gorgasli in 1959, which was open to the general public \u00a0and attracted many visitors. \u00a0The project of Elguja Amashukeli received the first prize: the bronze statue was installed in 1967 on the Metekhi Plateau, in front of the church.<\/p><p>In 1958, as part of the celebration of the 1500<sup>th<\/sup> \u00a0anniversary of Tbilisi, Georgian artists and architects created many interesting projects. Amashukeli made a 20-meter wooden statue with a sword in one hand and a bowl of wine in another. In the 1960s, the author covered the sculpture with aluminum sheets, and in 1997 replaced it with a new one.<\/p><p>Elguja Amashukeli authored the <em>M<\/em><em>onument of <\/em><em>G<\/em><em>lory<\/em> in Poti (<em>The M<\/em><em>other <\/em><em>of Colchis<\/em><em>,<\/em> bronze 1967), the relief of the portal of the Tbilisi metro station <em>\u00a0<\/em><em>Rustaveli<\/em> (1965), the monuments to King Pharnavaz, Rafiel Eristavi and Niko Pirosmanashvili in Tbilisi (bronze, 1974-1975) , <em>the Monument to Victory \u00a0<\/em>in Gori (<em>The Lionman,<\/em> bronze, 1979).<\/p><p>His works in the field of painting, graphics and book illustration deserve special attention.

He was awarded the titles of Honored Artist of the USSR (1965), People&#8217;s Artist of Georgia (1984-89), as well as the orders of the \u00a0Red Banner of Labor and the \u00a0Order of People&#8217;s Friendship.
