Tamuna Sirbiladze
"Pomegranate"
24 x 16 inches
Signed edition of 35
$200
Using the pomegranate as an homage to her home country of Georgia, Tamuna Sirbiladze's oil stick drawings oscillate between the figurative and the gestural. A skillful expression of Sirbiladze's "graphic panache" can be seen in her unstretched canvas series on view at Half Gallery, reviewed in The New York Times last Friday. Sirbiladze claims color as the reason she became drawn to painting, which is evident in the vibrant language of color awareness that these works generate. Sirbiladze remarks, "searching for color and light is my main engagement."
