Dr. Al Sulaiti praised the exhibition, which presents a renewed creative vision through which the audience is acquainted with the culture and arts of Georgia through artworks that carry a high creative value embodied by the exhibited works.
The exhibition contributes in laying the means of convergence through the arts, which are the most prominent bridges of communication between peoples and represent a common human language, pointing out that Katara has established the foundations of joint cultural cooperation with various embassies in the country, in order to hold distinguished events and exhibitions in line with Katara’s cultural message.
The “Forms of Life” exhibition includes 16 paintings, which refers to the philosophical perception of the meaning of life and existence through a selection of creative works that express the originality of Georgian art. Works were derived from the artist’s recovery of his work over the past decade, where artist Gela Patiashvili spent most of his life in Tbilisi, Georgia and the southern coast of France, which gained a bold dimension in its colours, freedom of forms, and its various and varied linear designs, based on the fact that colours are one of the tools of deep knowledge to understand the vast existence in its multiple dimensions.
Meanwhile, the artist’s works of a narrative nature give the audience a special feeling, in which the audience noticeably senses the artist’s feelings and intertwined ideas.
His works show great interest and love for the cultures and heritage of the Middle East, which combines the distinctive elements of his artworks, which the artist employed in liveliness and richness.
This is reflected in his paintings that highlight his interest in heritage, whether in which he embodied horses or falcons, which will become clearer with the ongoing coordination between the Georgian artist and Katara in the context of his participation in the next edition of “Suhail, Katara International Hunting and Falcons Exhibition” scheduled to open in September.
The exhibition is being held in Building 47, Hall 1, and will continue until June 29. It is open from 10am until 10pm evening.
