Solo Show "Twelve Actions" at Why Not Gallery, Tbilisi
12 May-23 June
Attempting to subordinate the artist's 'inner landscape' to the constraints of language and rationalisation will only yield illusions of possession and will not bring us any closer to the truth. Bendeliani's works can be complemented by text, but not explained by it. They are a revelation, with their composition and construction culminating in an absolute Symbol.
Š’eing such, they demand a unique approach. The figures, arranged in concrete frames, are meant to be examined within their isolated field of action. There is no representation, narrative, or illustration here. Painting acts independently. Through the skilful technique of isolation, Tornike creates an Image that is greater than itself.
In this case, we are not merely looking at a 'work of art' but rather, at what lies outside of it. Tornike Bendeliani's artistic language transforms each individual's subjective experience into a unified objective experience, imparting the presence of the sacred, bringing us closer to transcending ourselves.
