Revaz Tchantouria



Revaz Tchantouria develops a style of geometric abstraction. His colorful artworks express
movement of different colors and geometric shapes.

Revaz is originally from Georgia in the Caucasus and has lived in Sweden since the late
1980s. He received his education in the studio of the prominent Georgian sculptor- abstractionist during 1974-1977 in Tbilisi. Karlo Grigolia was the founder of Georgian avant-garde art which was a forbidden underground movement during the Soviet period.

Revaz has always been very fascinated
by astronomy and finds inspiration from the geometric disposition of astronomy. He also takes inspiration from colors in nature and different seasons.
He works with different techniques, mostly oil on canvas but also with paper collages and
mixed media.
Influenced by avant-garde artists like Malevich, Kandinsky, and Mondrian, his artworks
convey an individual impression and interpretation by each observer.
