Ana Gzirishvili's untitled sculpture features earthy, fabric-like material draped and collapsed in organic, fluid forms, emphasizing natural tones and pliability. The work evokes themes of transition and displacement through its ambiguous shapes, which might symbolize garments or skins. Her experimental style involves deconstructing and reconstructing physical forms, bridging the material with the abstract.

Gallery Artbeat is a pioneering contemporary art gallery based in Tbilisi, Georgia representing mid-career and emerging Georgian artists.
Between 2014-2017 the gallery started its journey as a project space, a moving gallery using a shipping container for site-specific exhibitions to introduce contemporary art in peripheral locations where museums and galleries don't function. In October 2017 the gallery found it's permanent home in the heart of Tbilisi.
The gallery has a significant presence on the international art scene, collaborating with major institutions and museums and taking part in art fairs such as NADA Miami, Untitled Miami, Art Dubai, Artissima, Art Cologne.
Our aim is to support artists throughout their artistic journeys, foster cultural activities both locally and abroad, collaborate with international galleries and organisations and mark Georgia on an international art map. ...
