current exhibition:

We are pleased to host the first group exhibition of weseeitems, "ხაზების კონა". (collection of lines - KONA is a Georgian word, that means collection)
The gallery will showcase contemporary Georgian artists. Nestan Mikeladze, Tatia Darchiashvili, Manuchar Oqrostsvaridze and Giorgi Chkheidze.
The exhibition contains both paintings and graphic works under one concept. They are linked by an underlying continuous style - "Kona of lines". The abstract image of the minimalist works allows the viewer to evaluate; it is fascinating how huge and tiny works are blended in a limited area; this is an exploration process and an exciting experiment for us as well.
The most significant object is the line itself, or the values it conveys in the image. Line – the core concept of geometry, a straight line that extends forever on both sides and has an infinite number of points. How does it envelop the entire artwork, or how can a single line change the structure? It occurs everywhere, in all forms; we must pay attention to it and identify it in many forms. Their mixture, or "Kona-," can become figurative.
Only one line may link every two points. Two lines on a surface can either intersect or remain parallel. Concurrent lines share only one point in common. Parallel lines do not have a common point. It's interesting how lines can convey emotional images.
Each piece can be purchased from us.

Nestan Mikeladze (b. August 22, 1986) is a Georgian-born artist, based in Tbilisi.
She had her first solo show in 2015, and since then her works have been exhibited in various group shows in different cities, like Paris, Madrid, Berlin, and New York. Her latest solo show was held in Georgia, at the Ria Keburia Foundation gallery in December 2023.
Nestan's works are distinguishable by their materials and artistic expressions. It is always interesting for her to work in different mediums, from oil to ink and installation. Her experimentations are a result of her permanent quests.
She has received mentorship from Dr. Christianna Bonin, a critic at Artforum and curator of Art Dubai Modern 2024.
In 2023 she successfully passed the full-time artist-in-residency program at Ria Keburia Foundation, which was followed by her solo show at the foundation.

Giorgi Chkheidze (b.1983) turned to painting after working in medicine and television. In 2008, he took a photography course at Prague's London University, and from 2010 to 2012, he studied Visual Arts, MA at the Art Academy Tbilisi. Artistic exploration replaced the past career and profession changes, as well as diverse life experiences. Between 2010 and 2017, Chkheidze made an experimental series using various mediums and materials. In his works, the artist focuses on completely distinct views, which is partly the result of experimenting with visual effects. The artist has developed his unique painting and sketching method, in which accidental vital and geometric figures appear and create minimalistic compositions. On the other hand, beyond visual experimentation, we can perceive Chkheidze's previous knowledge, once-experienced perspectives, and approach seeping into the new life.
