For his fall exhibition, Berlin-based Georgian artist Andro Wekua will present a series of paintings that investigate color, form, and the delicate threads that connect portraiture with still life. Inspired by a wide berth of information that touches on everything from iconographic painting, abstraction, symbolism and the trace of memory, the works in this exhibition will employ the artist’s characteristic visual language in both new and familiar forms.
