Soso
is a professional artist with Master's Degree from prestigious Tbilisi
Academy of Fine Arts. Besides the painting, he works as art designer
at Georgian Film –
a
movie company highly famed for its delicate artistic and philosophical
concept (remenber remember films of Iosseliani?)
Some
critics note that works of Nadiradze are somewhat reminiscent of Mark
Chagall. Although Soso considers it as a pleasing compliment, loves
Chagall and deems him as very dear spiritual friend, he does not really
find much "similarity" besides the broad parallels in general
attitude to life.
Instead,
Soso feels that his own artistic roots derived mainly from the frescos
of the ancient Georgian churches (as official religion, Christianity
was adopted there as early as in 4th century, and cathedrals were decorated
by Georgian native –
not Byzantine –
painters);
almost as his own "genetic memory," he undergoes the poetic
and philosophical inspirations of Shota Rustaveli, the greatest
Georgian intellectual of 12th century; Soso believes it is Pirosmani
(1862-1918) who has enabled him to apprehend that reality is actually
not as apparent as it seems to appear...

ATTENTION:
the
following two paintings
by Ioseb (Soso) Nadiradze
expected for this show
have been lost by FedEx
in their transition from
Georgia to Canada,
probably somewhere in France.
Good
news:
the paintings have been located
with kindness of Briana from San Francisco,
so, after 3 month of travel,
they are finally in the gallery!
Thank you Briana!
