About Irina Gabiani


After studying at the Academy in Tbilisi, Irina moved to Amsterdam where she studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (“Free direction” and “Contemporary jewellery”). Irina has lived and worked in Luxembourg since 1998.

The Universe in its holistic essence is the focus of the research of the artist according to whom we all belong to a unique system, to a "big organism" imagined as a kind of complex, interrelated chain, of which we, and everything around us, are a part.



Trying to see beyond what we can perceive with our eyes, going beyond the vision of the world as we use to know, the artist researches the innumerable similarities between the infinitely big and the infinitely small within matter. The two "worlds" look as though they mirror one another. The more we know matter and understand its complexity which escapes us at a simple glance, the more the infinitely small leads us to the universe. For this reason, especially in her recent works, images of the micro and macro universes appear one next to the other and, sometimes, the images from the micro exceed the dimension of those from the macro. Discovering infinite worlds within our every-day surroundings leads the artist to believe that there are other parallel realities in time and space.




In her works, Irina uses drawing, painting, photography and sculpture, often in porcelain or ceramics.




Her works have been shown in Italy, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Georgia, Russia, Macau, China and Australia.

The Vitruvian Woman video installation:

The Vitruvian Woman is a multimedia sculpture created by 34 artists from around the world. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s sketch; The Vitruvian Man, which idealises the classic proportions of the human body, in his case the male body, The Vitruvian Woman sets out to trace the multidimensionality of womanhood in a flow of five three-minute video sequences reflecting the nine bodily regions: the head, heart, stomach, sexual organ, right arm, left arm, left leg, right leg and feet.
This poetry of dismemberment screened on nine monitors draws on diverse chapters of female identity, from scenes of domestic life to the sensibilities of lingerie and lust. Allegories of the flesh and a male beaten to pulp add to the shaky image of female empowerment as it alternately pins its hope on Buddhist mantra and surrenders to the flux of collective consciousness. (Kim Wyon)

C’est une nouvelle étape culturelle dans les échanges entre la France et de la Géorgie.

Le programme du vernissage se tiendra durant deux jours. Le soir du 27 Juillet le public pourra découvrir les tableaux, les photographies et l’art vidéo. Le lendemain auront lieu des projections de films et une conférence permettant au public de débattre avec des organisateurs de l’exposition, des invités et des artistes présents. Il sera possible de discuter sur des questions d’actualité en Géorgie : la politique, l’art et la création, la culture et ses problématiques.
