This painting develops a fluid composition, shifting from the left, where dense layers and more classical tones dominate, toward the right, where lighter and more vibrant colors emerge. The dialogue between thicker painted forms and translucent passages builds momentum, giving organic life to abstraction.
Nina Akhobadze trained under Oleg Timchenko at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, a painter whose discipline and holistic approach to art emphasized process and integrity over style. Nina’s abstraction is a quiet rejection born in post-Soviet Georgia — a response to Timchenko’s tutelage that still carries his way of perceiving art. Her practice doesn’t perform sophistication for the market; it exists as a means to preserve dignity and coherence in the face of instability. In her work, painting remains a necessity rather than decoration or lifestyle. In this way, Nina differentiates herself from many of her European peers.
Nina Akhobadze is the latest addition to our portfolio within the framework of BASPcr — our curatorial line where art engages with self-organisation and identity to strengthen the visibility of immigrant communities.
