Bringing together works from different periods of the artist\u2019s career, the exhibition traces the evolution of his visual language from traditional media to digital painting and graphic art.<\/p><p>Tbilisi is a central theme in the exhibition. The display also includes abstract compositions, portraits, and still lifes. Despite the variety of media, the works share a clear sense of form and space, as well as a sustained interest in colour, texture, and light.<\/p><p>Nugzar Medzmariashvili belongs to a generation of Georgian artists whose careers reflect the profound changes of successive eras. A graduate of the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, he established himself as an important figure in Georgian monumental and decorative art with his 1970 diploma project. The <em>Prometheus<\/em> mosaic, created for the reading hall of the Georgian Academy of Sciences Library, was among the most significant monumental artworks of the period.<\/p><p>During the 1970s and 1980s, Medzmariashvili participated in national and international exhibitions in Budapest, Moscow, Paris, and Munich, while also completing major state commissions. These included <em>Victory<\/em>, a monumental panel created in dry encaustic for the <em>Karishkhala<\/em> Sports Complex; <em>Night<\/em>, a tapestry designed for the Pitsunda resort complex; and a mosaic icon of the Virgin Mary made for St Nino\u2019s Spring in Bodbe convent.<\/p><p>Medzmariashvili taught at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts and served as its Vice-Rector from 1987 to 1989. In 1982, he was awarded the title of Honoured Artist of Georgia.<\/p><p>In the 1990s, he became one of the first Georgian artists to embrace digital media. Computer graphics and digital painting enabled him to convey the experience of monumental art in a new visual format.<\/p><p>The exhibition invites visitors to explore the many periods and directions of Nugzar Medzmariashvili\u2019s career, tracing his artistic journey from traditional media to the realm of pixels.<\/p><p><strong>Organised by:<\/strong> Georgian National Gallery<br \/><strong>Supported by:<\/strong> Tbilisi City Hall Department of Culture, Education, Sports and Youth Affairs<br \/><strong>Curator:<\/strong> Maia Chikvaidze<br \/><strong>Opening hours:<\/strong> 10:00 AM\u20135:30 PM<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solo Exhibition of Nugzar Medzmariashvili Nugzar Medzmariashvili\u2019s solo exhibition opens at the National Gallery on 19 March 2026 at 6:00 PM.
