"Closer Than Before" - Jana Kurashvili / Luka KurashviliOpening: Friday 14, June 2024. 2pm. Show extended till 30 November, 2024. |
|
We are excited to present a new powerful sculpture, drawings, large scale paintings by Jana Kurashvili together with Luka Kurashvili at our new space in Basel at Hardstrasse 39. Luka and Jana Kurashvili's collaborative presentation will last till 30 November, 2024. |
Two artistic positions are presented, both of which essentially deal with interpersonal emotions and interactions. Luka Kurashvili (*1985 in Tbilisi) views his protagonists from an external perspective, combining fiction and his own life reality. Jana Kurashvili (*1995), on the other hand, offers the viewer a direct look into her personal inner world, with her person and unique affectivity at the center of her work. In the exhibition “Closer than before,” there is both a personal approach of each artistic work to its own motifs and a juxtaposition of the exploration of humanity and feelings from a subjective internal versus a more objective external standpoint. Although the approaches—both in terms of artistic implementation and the perspective of each artist—initially appear contradictory, a connection, or even a commonality inherent in the works, becomes apparent in direct relation. |
