Very  soon  the period   of   simplification  began.  At  that  time  my  credo  was: "Minimum of  means  and  maximum of expression".  That period was characterized  by laconism of lines and substantive psichological and philosophical  contents.  The  most   pictures  in  this  style  was  created  in  1993.  It  was  very  productive  year.  Some ideas strucke me  unexpectedly   and   I   immediately  realized  them,  the  others appeared as a result of  associative  thinking.  So I've always liked  to combine  some strange  and  various ideas  and  associations , which  are  too  individual   to  explain  them  here. </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Late painting</B></I><B> :</B> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000099" FACE="Times New Roman" > It is spontaneous  continuation  of  principles  of  late graphics  plus  color  saturation. </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Preferable technics:</B></I> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000099" FACE="Times New Roman" > Oil on kanvas and gouache on cardboard.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Education : </B></div> <div>                       Tbilisi State University, </div> <div>                       Department of Mathematics </div> <div>                       Tbilisi, Georgia, 1988 - 1993 </div> <div>                       Speciality :  Mathematician </div> <div>                       </div> <div> <B>Artistic education</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Times New Roman" ><B> :</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000099" FACE="Times New Roman" >  self-taught </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Exhibitions :</B> </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Catalogue " New Colours ", International   company </div> <div>             " Anima " presents self-educated painters, “Modern Art Gallery”, Tbilisi;   November,1993; </div> <div>              Solo  exhibition  in  " Old Gallery ",  Tbilisi;   </div> <div>  January, 1999</div> <div>              Solo exhibition in “Art-Domain.com Gallery”,  Mallorca,  August 23 - September 17, 2003 </div> <div>              Group exhibition  in  “Agora Gallery”, Soho, New York;   November12 - December2, 2003 </div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" width=100 BGCOLOR="#660033" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <bR> </td> </tr></table><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td> <div align="center"><a href="http://search.directnic.com/?aff=9"><img src="http://banners.directnic.com/search/dnsearchad011.gif" width="468" height="60" border="0" alt="directNIC Search"></a></div> </td> </tr> </table> <CENTER> <font color="#FF0000" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hosted by <a href="http://www.directnic.com/" target="_top" style="color: red">directNIC.com</a></font> <br><br>  <script language="Javascript"> // do not make any changes to anything past this point or tracking script will not work var data; document.cookie='__support_check=1'; if (location.host) { var domain_name = '&d=' + location.host; } else { var domain_name = '&d=unknown'; } if (document.referrer) { var referrer_website = '&r=' + document.referrer; } else { var referrer_website = '&r=unknown'; } if (navigator.appName) { var browser_name = '&b=' + escape(navigator.appName); } else { var browser_name = '&b=unknown'; } if (navigator.userAgent) { var full_browser_info = '&fbi=' + escape(navigator.userAgent); } else { var full_browser_info = '&fbi=unknown'; } if (navigator.appVersion) { var app_version = '&aV=' + escape(navigator.appVersion); } else { var app_version = '&aV=unknown'; } if (navigator.javaEnabled()) { var java_enabled = '&jE=' + navigator.javaEnabled(); } else { var java_enabled = '&jE=unknown'; } if (screen.width) { var screen_width = '&sw=' + screen.width; } else { var screen_width = '&sw=unknown'; } if (screen.height) { var screen_height = '&sh=' + screen.height; } else { var screen_height = '&sh=unknown'; } if (screen.colorDepth) { var color_depth = '&cd=' + screen.colorDepth; } else { var color_depth = '&cd=unknown'; } data = 'a=track' + domain_name + referrer_website + browser_name + full_browser_info + app_version; data = data + java_enabled + screen_width + screen_height + color_depth; document.write('<img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 src="http://stats.directnic.com/tracker.php?' + data + '">'); </script> <noscript> <img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 src="http://stats.directnic.com/tracker.php?a=noscript"> </noscript>  </CENTER></body>
