Mzcheta. Svetizchovloba, religious celebration, 1989, @ Guram Tsibakhasvili
Fascinated by an exhibition of his countryman Yuri Mechitov, Guram Tsibakhasvili (*1960) decided to concentrate on photography in 1982. His coverage of everyday life in Georgia spans the most critical periods of the last days and fall of the Soviet Union, the years of civil war in Georgia in the 1990s up to the millennium. As a photographer, the chemist is autodidact: he obtained his knowledge from books; besides Mechitov he names his role models to be Leonardo da Vince, Paul Klee and Cy Twombly. For other series, Tsibakhashvili developed an experimental style: he combined photography with text, colour and media and worked on paper, canvas or wood. Many of his works can be found today in collections of international art museums. From 1990 to 1994 he taught “Theory of Photography” at the National University; he belongs to the co-founders of the Caucasian Center for Cultural Development (2002) and the Tbilisi Photography House (2007). Tsibakhashvili lives and works in Tiflis.
