The Why Not Gallery is pleased to invite to Gvantsa Jishkariani’s solo show ‘𝓘 𝓗𝓪𝓽𝓮 𝓟𝓸𝓮𝓽𝓻𝔂, 𝓸𝓻 𝓗𝓸𝔀 𝓣𝓸 𝓑𝓮 𝓗𝓪𝓹𝓹𝔂’.

With the intensity characteristic to the artist, the exhibition turns into a total installation, where the viewer gets lost in the whirlwinds of information flows and visual stimulation.

The main source of inspiration for the artist is her immediate environment, the socio-political situation that forms the reality around – a busy, DIY chaos, at times toxic, uneven, disordered, all-engulfing tsunami that one tries to survive in vain. Although this dichotomy between the collective and the individual, between the normative and the non-standard, is a subject of constant research and inspiration for the artist, it has never before been illustrated with such intensity in her work. The chaos in the exhibition space is superimposed with gentle, aesthetic works filled with special sensitivity. Beautiful giant mosaic flowers grow out of now trash newsreels; timeless, sublime landscapes offer a refuge; bold paintings drawn with free brushstroke promise a different reality.

The presented exhibition is a kind of an attempt in escapism – a position saturated with humour so characteristic to the artist – a kind of survival guide.

‘And I do hate poetry but hey, what is the world without it?
Gothic poetry.
Post-poetry poetry
New era poetry,
Heavy metal opera poetry.
Streets poetry
Pathetic poetry
Wanna be poetry
Lies poetry
Politics poetry
Trash poetry
Poetry is the strawberry house, is the tv always on, is the swamp waters with pretty fountains, flowers as stones and cats as flowers.
Have been
Have seen
Have experienced
Have heard
Have sung
Have never written.’
