"Bright" Painting

My name is Andrey Pavli. I live and work in Georgia. My language is compositional structure. I build the surface of the painting as one constructs space: with attention to density, depth, and points of support. It is important to me that the work doesn’t narrate but holds. Georgian script, to me, is less a sign and more a volumetric graphic form, freed from function. I use letters to stop reading–not as an act of destruction, but as a way toward a primary form: a moment when the line has not yet become a symbol but already carries rhythm. The words encrypted on the canvas seem suspended in the air–dissolving in the rhythm of form, yet preserving their presence, as if whispering through the surface. The base of my work is fabric: linen and cotton–tactile and physically felt. These materials respond to me, anchoring me in the process. On them, I apply paints based on silicone and resins. The surface becomes elastic, with a rubber-like membrane effect. It is important to me that the image is felt by the body–that the color has weight, that the viewer wants to touch it.
