This vibrant abstract painting features a dynamic, expressive composition of bold, gestural brushstrokes in a range of warm hues, including fiery orange, yellow, and deep purple. The dominant forms are fluid, organic shapes that suggest energetic movement and a sense of chaos or turbulence. The artist has employed a distinctive impasto technique, creating a textured surface that adds depth and a sense of tactility to the work.

Nina Kintsurashvili’s artistic process begins with the gathering and deep reflection on images sourced from Georgia’s archaeological sites, Byzantine and Western art histories, and Soviet-era archival records—many of which document artifacts now lost and preserved only through sketches. She is especially fascinated by the absence of visual information: fragments of broken vessels, faded frescoes, damaged heritage sites, or low-quality images found online. These gaps in memory and image access serve as a powerful creative catalyst, inspiring her to explore how erased histories are preserved, reinterpreted, and imagined. Through deconstruction and abstraction, Kintsurashvili transforms these original materials into new painterly forms that remain connected to their origins while becoming something entirely fresh. Her work creates a dialogue between materiality and concept, blending historical references with contemporary abstraction. By focusing on what is missing, her practice reveals how memory is shaped as much by absence as by presence. Her abstract compositions often hint at traditional forms like landscapes, allowing familiar shapes to appear before being transformed, inviting viewers into a contemplative space where representation and imagination intersect. ...
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. ...
