Padiglione Georgia: il dinamismo scultoreo di Tamara Kvesitadze
Art and life, like an eternal return.
"What fascinates me is movement,
dynamism. The mechanical aspect of
my works is linked to the concept of
change, transformation, the circular
evolution of life". The entire artistic research
of Tamara Kvesitadze is based
upon the relation between the idea of
"mechanical" and "organic":
"The organic
nature of the mechanical, order
in the organic, the mechanical nature
of order".
The project called Re-Turn, presented at the Georgia Pavilion on the occasion of the 52nd Biennial of Venezia, consists in a suggestive installation of mechanical figures made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic and metal, the circular dynamism of which represents the motion of transformation that is reflected in the context.
The energy technique, solid and at the same time imitative of classical style, reveals its extreme sensitivity to matter and movement. The delicacy and expressive force which pervade her works allow her highly personal artistic manner to shine through, half way between experimentation and tradition.
“In art, you can only express that which you are, transmitting that which you feel. This is the role of an artist”.
Although she has wandered from Georgian traditions and culture, Tamara Kvesitadze has fallen deeply under the influence of this: her artistic tastes, her originality and her characteristic vision of the world are typical of a country at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, a blend of Western, Eastern and Byzantine cultures.

La Biennale di Venezia è da oltre un secolo una delle
istituzioni culturali più prestigiose al mondo e più all'avanguardia
nella promozione delle nuove tendenze artistiche e nell’organizzazione
di manifestazioni internazionali delle arti contemporanee, secondo un
modello pluridisciplinare che ne caratterizza l'unicità.
In the Biennial designed by Robert Storr, it would be impossible not to perceive the existence of two generic groupings of artists which reflect the peculiar characteristics of contemporary art language...
Think with the senses, Feel with the
mind: art at present. A title such as
this, serving also as a theme, induces
us to think, perhaps with too much
facility, that this is such a wide proposal,
such a totalizing panorama, that
nothing could in any way remain
alien to it.
