Painter Rusudan Khizanishvili’s striking paintings of mystical anthropomorphic creatures explore themes including the self, cultural memory and myths, and the female body. Drawing on the rich traditions of her Georgian heritage, Khizanishvili employs a color palette filled with electric greens, pinks, and blues to create whimsical worlds where endless stories play out. Over the course of her career, Khizanishvili has received international acclaim and shown her work in group and solo exhibitions around the world. In 2015, she represented Georgia at the 56th Venice Biennale, alongside five other artists. Khizanishvili has also created works centered around the transformation of human beings into a new species. By transforming moments and objects from everyday life into alternate versions, Khizanishvili invites viewers into a new reality through her canvases.
