Igor
Tcholaria
- the exhibition 'Nostalgie de la beauté' of the
latest paintings and sculpture by the artist.
The Georgian artist
Igor Tcholaria lived
and worked in Belgium for many years. He
collaborated with major galleries in Belgium,
Holland, England, Luxembourg, and the United
States of America. He participated in dozens of
general and personal exhibitions around the
world.
The work of the
Georgian artist is characterized by a
combination of an ultra-modern approach to
painting with a deep understanding of the
techniques and traditions of old European
masters. The motifs of the French avant-garde
and impressionist artists of the early twentieth
century are not alien to him.
Igor Tcholaria
attaches great importance to the preliminary
processing of the canvas. The pictorial layers
of the lining often represent independent works
of abstract painting in the spirit of Cezanne's
layers, Pollack's multi-vector tricks, and
Rothko's warm and mysterious halftones. Thanks
to this work, a kind of artist's know-how,
Tcholaria's canvases live, breathe and supply
the owner with positive energy, so necessary for
a human being in our turbulent and difficult
times.
True avant-garde is
archaic - Tcholaria claims. It is not for
nothing that Pablo Picasso turned to prehistoric
examples of cave paintings in search of forms.
Igor Tcholaria also
adheres to the glorious tradition. In his
improvisations, he masterfully maintains a high
note of inspiring nostalgia. No matter how
sophisticated the inventors of various concepts
are, painting is the result of an impressive
combination of forms and colours. Let us not
forget that having created a world of incredible
complexity, the Lord laconically limited himself
to two words of commentary.
IT IS GOOD - said
God.

Brian Martin Brooks -
the exhibition 'New Abstracts' of the latest
prints by the artist.
Brian Martin Brooks has been
exhibiting internationally since the 1970s, with
work featured in private and public collections
across Europe, the USA, and Latin America. Renowned
for his ability to translate the visual world
onto a two-dimensional plane, Brooks combines an
exceptional understanding of colour, perspective
and pattern with a refined and elegant painting
technique. –
Basia Deptuch,Visual
Arts Manager, Curator, and Exhibition Organizer,
PA to Director of Tate Modern Gallery
Brooks’ practice bridges realism
and abstraction, shaped by his Bauhaus training
at Pratt Institute in the early 1970s and his
contributions to Andy Warhol’s Factory during
the same period. Bauhaus principles, especially
the work of Joseph Albers, influenced his
mastery of colour and design, while his time at
the Factory, working on projects like the
Chairman Mao series, sparked a fascination with
blending mechanical processes and human
craftsmanship.
Now incorporating digital
processes into his pictorial practice, Brooks
explores new ways to merge contemporary
technology with traditional techniques. Since
the 1990s, Brooks has embraced abstraction,
exploring the dynamic interplay of shapes,
colours, and lines. Inspired by figures like
William Morris, Annie Albers, and Agnes Martin,
his work celebrates imperfection and
physicality. He draws a connection between
abstraction and realism, likening the zoomed-in
details of realistic art to abstract forms.

Mel Smothers
- the exhibition 'History Paintings' of the
latest paintings by the artists.
“My creative subjects are inherited with the
times and drawn from personal narratives and
sources that span art history. They reflect my
interest in philosophy and contemporary
thought.”
“The influence on this series of
paintings is the journal of French Academy
painter Eugene Delacroix in 1850’s. In it, he
expresses his frustration with our species’ need
to build up democratic institutions and culture
only to be destroyed by fear and ignorance again
and again at the cost of human suffering." - Mel
Smothers
Mel also exhibits at Art Lives
Here, and Carter-Burden Gallery, New York City.
Hay Hill Gallery, London. TAG Gallery Los
Angeles. JAG Gallery, Key West Florida and
Archival Gallery, Sacramento, California. In
2006 he was selected to ‘Artists of Year,’
exhibition at Cooper-Union, NYC. He has taught
Art at the University of California, University
of Idaho and University of Nevada. He has a
hard-to-find studio along the shore in Lake
Tahoe.
He is also a student of fly
fishing and jazz violin.
