The Philosophy of the Raw Space

In 2015, I exhibited my paintings at Tbilisi Summer Set, specifically within the industrial atmosphere of the Sabagiro project. The "Premium & Raw" aesthetic I pursue finds its home in these spaces—where high-contrast visuals meet concrete and metal.

Soundscapes & Synergy

The festival’s atmosphere was shaped by an exceptional lineup. Walking through the exhibition while these soundscapes echoed through the industrial hall created a perfect synergy:

• Ólafur Arnalds & Kiasmos
• Nils Frahm
• Agoria
• Worakls & N’to
• Nikakoi (Nika Machaidze)

Exhibiting in a 2015 cable car project allows for a different kind of dialogue. There are no expectations, only the immediate connection between the observer, the sound, and the canvas. This remains a core philosophy for One Man Gallery: art should exist in spaces that breathe.
