DAVID KHITARISHVILI

About me

I am a contemporary artist working in a unique style that combines elements of abstract cartoon cubism and artificial realism.
My work is a constant search for new forms of expression, exploring different artistic practices and concepts.
In my work I often refer to the legacy of the great masters such as Picasso, Velázquez, Condo, Matisse, Arcimboldo, Pollock and Norman Lindsay.
These allusions and reinterpreted approaches make each painting unique and multi-layered, creating an opportunity for deep engagement with the viewer.
In my work I combine ideas from different styles and eras, from American cartoon animation to European painting.
I have considerable experience of interacting with collectors and art dealers, as well as participating in international contemporary art fairs. I have participated in group exhibitions in Europe, USA and Asia, and my works are in private collections in cities such as Munich, Paris, Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore, Shanghai, Athens, Zurich, Toronto and many others.
I am constantly open to collaboration with collectors and art lovers and work in any format to make my paintings fit perfectly into your interior, creating harmony and inspiration in your space.

The main ideas and issues i raise as an artist are

-Identity and social roles

-Body image and beauty standards

-Inner emptiness

-Emotional response

-Critical thinking

-Self-irony perspective

Thus, through my works, a space for discussion and introspection is created, encouraging the viewer not only to react emotionally, but also to philosophically reflect on what it means to be human in the conditions of the modern world.

Using elements of absurdity and artificial cartoon realism, I mock modern standards of beauty and common norms of behavior.

Thus I create first of all an impression of absurd theater, where everyone plays his role in a humorous carnival performance, as if to say: - "Look, in what absurdity we live, when appearance and the opinion of others become more important than the inner world".

You could say that my work is an ironic look at societal norms, in which personal identity and real emotions are lost in a series of high expectations and stereotypes.

This vicious circle is ridiculed through distorted cartoon images that are both funny and sad.

Behind the outward joy and mirth, I show complex human emotions and conflicts.

This reflects the complexity of the states we often find ourselves in.

I invite the viewer to reflect on how different our appearance (or mask) can be from our inner feelings.
