Saba Mzhavanadze

Saba Mzhavanadze explores the instability of the human figure through dense, layered brushwork and quasi-surreal distortions. His paintings stage encounters where interior states and external form collapse into one another, producing psychologically charged scenes in which bodies melt, merge, and shift. His practice examines the emotional and corporeal tensions that shape contemporary existence.

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. ...
