True Story

2017-2021

Medium: Clay and porcelain

Dimensions: Various

Cooperation with: Nona Otarashvili-Becher

True Story is the general name of a ceramic project consisting of clay plates, boxes, porcelain vases, and platters created during 2017-2021 in collaboration with ceramist Nona Otarashvili-Becher. Next to the artistic value, some of the objects also have a practical function.

 

Nona and I started working together with the aim to combine her ceramic and my graphic experiences. We juxtaposed coarse black clay with fine white porcelain, connecting these contrasting materials with minimalist ceramic forms by Nona and the clean lines of my drawings.

 

Our collaborative works have been exhibited at various venues since then:

Tante Nino, Rotterdam, the Netherlands in 2022; Gallery Kaolin, Stockholm, Sweden in 2021; Fabrika, Tbilisi, Georgia in 2019; Contemporary Art Space, Batumi, Georgia in 2018; Schöneberger Art, Berlin, Germany in 2017; Artisterium, Tbilisi History Museum - Karvasla Tbilisi, Georgia in 2017; Gallery Bollhorst, Freiburg, Germany in 2017;
