‘Forms of Life’ exhibition by Gela Patiashvili opens at Katara

The Cultural Village Foundation (Katara) opened the “Forms of Life” art exhibition by Georgian artist Gela Patiashvili. The exhibition was organised by Katara, in cooperation with the Georgian Embassy in Qatar. 

Katara General Manager, Prof. Dr. Khalid bin Ibrahim Al Sulaiti led the opening and was attended by Georgian Ambassador to Qatar, H E Nikoloz Revazishvili, a number of ambassadors and members of the diplomatic corps accredited to the State of Qatar, as well as a large audience of art lovers and those interested in culture.

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.
