Karlo Kacharava left numerous paintings, works on paper and illustrated diaries. And although he was only 30 years old when he died, Kacharava also left behind volumes of poetry, art criticism and cultural commentary, not to mention the legacy of a unique style that helped usher in a new wave of Georgian avant-garde expression. With this exhibition we open up Kacharava’s “inventive visual world” to a much wider audience. Within the framework of a public program S.M.A.K. will also invite a younger generation of ( diasporic Georgian ) artists to go into dialogue with his work. #smak
