The gallery of TBC Concept’s multifunctional space is pleased to present Kote Sulaberidze’s solo exhibition My Caucasus. The exhibition brings together selected works created by the artist from the 1990s to the present day.
The main axis of the exhibition is the idea of the Motherland, which crosses each of the artist’s works with direct or indirect references. In today’s context, where Georgia faces numerous challenges, this exhibition is not just a retrospective; it is a dialogue between the past and the present and reflections on the future. My Caucasus showcases works created alongside the first steps of modern Georgia—serving both as a historical review and a response to contemporary challenges.
In Kote Sulaberidze’s works, the Motherland is not just a geographical or political space but an emotional and cultural landscape, filled with both real and symbolic details—from the folds of a blanket to the slopes of a mountain. His art simultaneously reflects a dangerous, complex reality and an intimate connection to the Motherland.
Kote Sulaberidze (b. 1968) is one of the key figures in contemporary Georgian art. His works emerged in the 1990s, and since then, he has been actively engaged in conceptual painting, book illustration, and video art.
The artist has worked on the design and illustration of over 100 books, including Vano and Niko by Erlom Akhvlediani (published in Dutch by Voetnoot, 2003), as well as the Georgian editions of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey (Diogene, 2012) and The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco (Diogene, 2011).
Kote Sulaberidze actively participates in international projects and exhibitions. His latest solo exhibitions: A Quiet Life (Gallery of Contemporary Art, Karvasla, Tbilisi, 2020); «…Lovely Garden...» (Baia Gallery, Tbilisi, 2023). His works have also been presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art KIASMA (Helsinki, Finland, 2007); Progressive Nostalgia – Centro per L’Arte Contemporanea Luiggi Pecci (Prato, Italy, 2007); Sotheby’s Auction House (London, UK, 2013) and the Vienna Fair (Vienna, Austria, 2014).
Sulaberidze received his education at the Tbilisi Academy of Arts, and in subsequent years continued his teaching activities at the Tbilisi Academy of Arts and the Free University School of Visual Arts and Design (VA(A)DS).
