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 Her work creates a dialogue between materiality and concept, blending historical references with contemporary abstraction.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.
