Curator Khatuna Khabuliani
“Works by Zura Apkhazashvili (Apkhazi) reflect his special style of living, as he is a kind of outsider who took up his residence near the famous architectural historical complex in Georgia – Uplistsikhe and his works vividly reveal inspiration from archaic artistic visions developed in the subject of time & space relations through an abstract dimension. History connected with landscape is major topic for his series represented through big scale canvases/curtains.”
Khatuna Khabuliani, art critic, curator
