Irina Gabiani
Born in 1971 in Tbilisi (Georgia), lives and works in Luxembourg
Irina Gabiani’s whole research is focused on the representation of the connections which link everything, and make us part of the Universe where everything and everyone is interconnected.
She expresses this concept in her art through her signature evolving pattern, which is generated by a figure or an object that transforms into the following one.
Anonymous, enigmatic and even ghostly characters as well as everyday objects appear and yet seem so familiar to us. They seem to become carriers of messages and play the role of passers-by, passers-by of the artist’s self to the spectator that we are. They begin a bergamasque as if to refuse the ambient sadness and participate in a choreography, a precise and ordered theatrical scenography: revealed dreamlike topography.
What do they content us? What do they reveal to us?
On the chessboard of our lives, the diversity of an arbitrary gives us each the free will to seek, to find an answer … or not to this questioning
