Oil on canvas | Large-scale work | Signed and titled on reverseA bold, energetic and highly collectible oil painting by the internationally exhibited Georgian artist Gia Edzgveradze (b. 1953, Tbilisi). This substantial canvas is dominated by saturated reds, electric blues and warm ochres, applied in vigorous, gestural strokes with rich impasto. Abstracted forms float and collide across the surface — a striped ovoid shape, angular “table” structures, looping lines and fragmented planes — creating a dynamic still life that feels both playful and intense. The handwritten inscription on the reverse clearly identifies the work as “Красный натюрморт” (Red Still Life) and bears the artist’s signature Г. Эдзгверадзе. Gia Edzgveradze is a leading figure of contemporary Georgian art and a true multidisciplinary practitioner (painting, sculpture, installation, performance, video and writing). After studying at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts he moved to Germany in 1989 and has lived and worked in Düsseldorf for decades.His work has been shown at major international venues including: Venice Biennale (1997, Russian Pavilion / Georgian representation) Tate Gallery, St Ives Ludwig Museum, Budapest (solo exhibition Ultra Modern Nihilism) Sprengel Museum, Hannover Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin Museum Bochum, De Appel (Amsterdam) and numerous museum and gallery exhibitions across Europe and the USA Works by Edzgveradze are held in important collections such as the Daimler / Mercedes-Benz Art Collection, the Ludwig Collection and the Zimmerli Art Museum. He has also taught as a professor at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and the Berlin University of the Arts. Known for combining conceptual rigour with expressive painting, irony and philosophical depth, Edzgveradze moves fluidly between his celebrated black-and-white calligraphic works and more colourful, painterly compositions such as this one. Why This Work?A rare chance to acquire a large, powerful oil painting by an artist whose pieces hang in museums and who has exhibited at the Venice Biennale and Tate. The strong colour, energetic brushwork and clear reverse inscription make it both visually striking and well-documented. It has real presence and would make a commanding statement in a contemporary collection or interior.
