Georgii Uvs: THE GATE

June 14, 2024 – October 06, 2024 THE GATE exhibition by London-based artist Georgii Uvs is presented in Eagle gallery of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts.

The curator of the exhibition is Ellen Nash (Nashikian).

Georgii Uvs, both philosopher and artist, strives to express the unique psychological and emotional states he believes humanity is experiencing. The only medium through which he expresses his existential conclusions and explorations is paint. He uses paint as his sole medium, foregoing brushes and traditional tools, crafting his paints from medieval recipes and his own secrets.

THE GATE series emerged during one of the most transitional periods in human history, affecting all civilizations and countries, regardless of race, creed, or political regime - COVID-19 and the lockdown.

The works in THE GATE series use two primary colors - black and red - highlighted by the artist’s signature ultraviolet pigment technique. As soon as the light changes, the ultraviolet pigment begins to 'resonate' with vivid colors.
