About Irina Gabiani
After studying at the Academy in Tbilisi, Irina Gabiani moved to Amsterdam where she studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. She currently lives and works in Luxembourg.
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. Discovering infinite worlds within our every-day surroundings leads the artist to believe that there are other parallel realities in time and space.
Irina Gabiani works with drawing, painting, installation, video and performance.
Her works have been shown in Italy, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Greece, Cyprus, Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, Romania, Ukraine, Armenia, Russia, Lebanon, South Africa, Syria, Macau, China, India, Australia and USA.
In 2011, Irina Gabiani's works have been presented at the 54th Biennale di Venezia - Italian Pavilion at the Arsenale.
