Irinka Talakhadze

Irinka Talakhadze's work examines the relationship between a thing and its essence, between what we see and what an image implies. The sense of precarious equilibrium that can be found in hwerecent paintings  reveals just how sadly dystopian an image can be that, at first glance, appears happily utopian. It thus reveals how utopia and dystopia can coexist within the same image.

Irinka Talakhadze ventures into the territory of phenomenology and revisits matters related to perception that have fascinated philosophers and art historians, and have equally captured the attention of artists. What interests her is the correlation between appearance and that which appears, and the way in which this correlation allows us to understand the relationship between the self and the world. Her landscapes annul the concept of a border through which one defines one's belonging to a place, they end up representing a world-nation in which different identities annul one another by overlapping.
