In
seinen Seelandschaften bezieht sich Künstler Giorgi Shengelia auf
die Brücke Maler die Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts an der Nordseeküste
ihre Expressionichen Meeresstücken malten. Kräftige Farbakkorde,
expressive Kompositionen zeichnen Giorgi Shengelias malerischen Stil
aus. Genauso wie die Brücke Maler ist Shengelia fasziniert von der
Nordsee, deren Darstellungen in seinen Bildern atmosphärisch und
abstrakt sind. Die Bildflächen atmen Frische und Freiheit. Farben
und Gliederung spielen in seiner Kunst eine große Rolle, die
schwarzen Bildränder und Konturen geben den Werken besondere
Struktur und Ordnung. In abstrakte Bilder oft hinein gemalte
geometrische Strukturen wirken dreidimensional und geben der glatten
Oberflächen besondere Dynamik. In unserer Zeit des Klimawandels und
der zerstörten Ökosystemen, wo die Meeresspigel ständig steigt und
mit Überschwemmungen droht, gewinnen Shengelias Meereslandschaften,
wo die grenze zwischen Land und Meer verwischt, eine besondere
Aktualität.
Biography
Giorgi Shengelia was born in 1977 in the city of Sukhumi, Georgia. He studied art at the Academy of Art in Tbilisi. In the year 2001 Giorgi fled his homeland out of necessity and he washed ashore in The Netherlands. Since 2003 Giorgi is living and working in the village of Bergen, in Northern-Holland, a safe haven behind the dunes of the North Sea coast. Here Giorgi makes paintings and mixed media mostly. Besides he is working on installations and sculptures. He is even active in photography. The amount of subjects Giorgi expresses in his work are endless: nature, city life, landscape, daily life, home, love, food, people, as I said: limitless. As a visual artist he is fascinated by the tensions and clashes between the reality and the artificial, the visual and elusive and the past and the future. The sensitive paintings of Giorgi Shengelia range from abstract to figurative, wildly drawn or with great precision, on canvas, paper or wood. All of varying sizes. His expressive sculptures are mostly made out of steel and objects from the scrap-heap. Making art, celebrating life and living in freedom are Giorgi’s keywords for now and the future.

With
Seascapes Giorgi Shengelia explores his empathy for the conjunction
of the Dutch coast and the North Sea. On the one hand he puts
emphasis on historical and contemporary aspects and on the other hand
he examines the influence of humans or weather on the dividing line
of land and water.
