The art loving society knows Giorgi Areshidze – the artist – as “Reshka”. Despite of a large competition and growing market,
his works retain their uniqueness. The avant-garde artist devotes most of his attention to the overall gamma. The gamma
does not only consider the color spectrum – the expressive abstraction, executed in a complicated manner carries a remarkably
dynamic nature. Painted in ordinary oil colors, the works have the voluminous visual effect. Structurally complex splatter paintings
and almost utopian, at times – ironic works challenge the capability of appraiser’s mind. Ordinary at first glance, the painting
becomes the inexhaustible source of information over time. The higher the viewer’s level of associative thinking, the bigger
would be the impression from the artist’s works. Reshka’s paintings are kept in private collection in different countries and his
value is gradually growing, although – he is still young.
Biography George Areshidze (Reshka) was born in 1977 in Tbilisi, Georgia. After the completion of secondary education he left for
Moscow where he made his first steps in fine arts. After his return from Russia in 1996 he entered Tbilisi State academy of
art, faculty of Scenic art.
His first personal exhibition "Iron Hatchet" took place in 1998 (Tbilisi Historical Museum). More then 40 works were
presented at the exhibition. These works were different in style and quite ambitious for his age.
1998-2000 Areshidze participated in various mixed exhibitions and at the same time worked on a new project "The Stream".
This project was hosted by N Gallery in 2000. Unlike his first exhibition the author used new means of expression – performance
evolving against the background of the artist’s paintings and graphic works. This kind of exhibition-performance is not limited by
the minimalist approach to the concept.
Areshidze continues to use the elements of theatrical show, emphasizes the role of music and experiments in his art up to day.
From 2000 to 2002 he worked on two different projects. A 15-minutes video "Assimilation" emphasizes social problems and is more
aggressive than the second project "She is at home" were the author uses photo collage to convey the changes in his private life.
In 2002 both projects were presented at the experimental art festival "Caravan Sarai" in Saloniki, Brussels and Paris.
At the same time Areshidze attended classic arts course in drawing at Ledi Lapachi’s studio. Most of the works of this period are
drawings in sanguine.
The following project was "Cosmic Dust" in 2004. George betrayed the main concept of movement, which dominated in his project
"The Stream". The new project conveyed the idea of immovability. "Stop to perceive the texture" - became a main philosophical
priority of the artist.
In 2006 Areshidze presented a resume of his past projects and works. The exhibition "First Steps" and the catalogues with same
name chronologically represented George's growth as an artist.
From 2006 to 2009 he participated in various international projects, invited to Moldova and Latvia, where he focused on painting.
That is when his attitude altered in regards to color, creating a series of paintings, which were distinguished by their individual
writing style. During that period the artist pursued abstract expressionism, at the same time not ceasing to experiment on texture
and frequently referring to the stylization of portrait. In 2007 his works were exhibited in Berlin, the project named “Gesicht der Zeit”.
This very project was followed by art auction. In 2009, George Areshidze was exhibited in Vienna, Austria, where he presented
paintings with various contexts.
In 2012, after a long pause, George Areshidze was exhibited along with the designer Sofie Butskhrikidze. The exposition,
named “Dual verse” contained over 40 paintings. The same year, the artist conducted another experiment in front of the live audience,
simultaneously creating 2 metres wide art piece inspired by sound and poetry. In 2013 he held a personal exhibition at the “Art Avenue”
Gallery, where he presented the pictorial series executed in abstract expressionism.
Currently, the artist lives in Tbilisi and actively works in the field of painting.
