"Red Torso." Painting

GIA REVAZI BIOGRAPHY
"I want my work to express the complexity and intensity of life as I feel it. I would like my art to open people's eyes to the textures and meaning of our lives"....Gia Revazi
At the age of 22 Gia Revazi graduated from the Tbilisi Academy of Fine Art majoring in Industrial Design. For more than 25 years now he has worked as both a professional painter and stage designer. He has executed numerous murals, sculptures and wall designs working in the position of television designer. He has also illustrated various books and exhibited his work in galleries throughout Europe and the United States working in primarily figurative themes transcended by his expression of hope, beauty, love and light.
"Technically", says Revazi, "I am interested in the combination of opposites: figurative and abstract, energetic surfaces with supremacist signs. The language in my art is the language of poetry and I believe in poetry and color. The principal focal point of my art is the fusion of space and time. I wish people to experience various feelings when they encounter my work. What gives me the pleasure of being an artist is that I can control the harmony because I am the painter and I can control the color, composition and form."
Revazi's work was recognized by Lika Mamatsashvili, the curator of the Tbilisi Museum Art Gallery. Her response to his work was intense, explaining that his work "brings tranquility and peace to it's owner and spectator." The museum purchased one of Revazi's paintings for their permanent collection.
Other prominent collector's have shared their personal feelings of Revazi's paintings as 'a gate to another world where they can escape all their troubles and enter a world of happiness, excitement and have a feeling of well being.' Or simply put, one viewer commented, "It just makes me smile!"
Revazi paintings are now collected in galleries throughout the United States and Europe and will be on exhibit this summer in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan.
