Artists, like shamans, "listen to the wind," the wind of change which every creative spirit needs. Guided by this wind of change, they undergo changes in their unending search of themselves and change the outside world by the inner world of their art. Summer is a time of change, time to "shed the skin" and let viewers see you in a new unexpected way. Thus, Nalbi has suddenly and desperately left behind his earlier experience of mirror-like duplicating figural painting and embraced energetic, nearly aggressive abstractionism. Thus, Oleg Dzyubenko, with a light almost imperceptible touch, has transformed the mystical realism of his earlier works into SYMBOLISM in his present pictures, conveying some supreme mystery of creative activity, as before, with his impeccable craftsmanship. Thus, Gia Gugushvili has turned back (as might have been expected) to sheer abstractionism, again expressing his thoughts and feelings through natural and emotionally charged color and texture per se rather than imagery. At first glance Kako's works seem to run counter to the idea of the creator's unending change. The first glance is always superficial, however, and although Kako outwardly remains true to himself, he is changeable like a stream or fire and stretches his mockery (or SELF-MOCKERY) to the limit of sarcasm, thus changing from the inside rather than the outside. So, is it a Fine Mood or a Midsummer-Night's Dream? Whatever you call it, the infinitely many-sided and meaningful works of the above artists have brought the wind of change to the Gertsev Gallery today.
