Lives and Works in Tbilisi, Georgia
Rusudan Khizanishvili(b. 1979), based in Tbilisi, Georgia, is interested in subjective female imagery and mythological iconography, which she combines with the exoticism of Georgian painting to reveal her own colorful palette. Her identity as a female painter formed within a particular culture, reflections on motherhood, and the historical singularity of her country have all become objects of visual exploration and have influenced her work.
Over the past fifteen years Khizanishvili has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions including Museum of Modern Art Tbilisi, Museum of Literature of Georgia, Tbilisi State Silk Museum, Mark Rothko Foundation at Daugavapils. Her major solo exhibitions are 《Velvet Armor》(SEOJUNG ART, Seoul, Korea, 2023) and 《Beauty and the Beast》(Galerie Kornfeld, Berlin, Germany, 2022). In 2015 Khizanishvili represented Georgia among five other artists at 《The 56th Venice Art Biennale》. Her works are in the collections of the Georgian National Museum, private collections of Stefan Simchowitz in the U.S. and Ettore Rossetta in Italy, Breus Foundation in Russia, and Collezione Taurisano in Italy.
