George Nebieridze, first and foremost, is a student of human behaviorism. He roams the crepuscular evening and nighttime landscape, selecting precise indicators of our human experience and our human moment. His eye is sharp and attenuated to the details that separate and confirm our secret rituals and identities that index our moment in the chaos of the 21st Century. Perhaps we could imagine his efforts as that of a kinder latter-day George Grosz infatuated equally with intimacy and interiors, but without Grosz’s raging political and social criticisms and post-war fits of despair. Instead, Nebieridze embraces society and its fluctuating carousel of emotions, befitted with an incautious tenderness and particular empathy. He is an observer and not a critic of lives spent in a constant celebration of the margins.
Nebieridze’s images are colorful and ebullient. Though his focus is deliberate in assessing the human condition, his efforts are not limited to youth culture in club nights in Berlin or his native Tbilisi, Georgia. His environmental and gem-like images of urban settings and architecture suggest an equal desire to confront the landscape as well as the human tapestry that navigates it in all of its changing manifestations. In his ability to document these aspects of our contemporary moment, and culture at large, Nebieridze solidifies his position as an avante instrument of the people and our times, his eye deftly recording and confirming our very existence.
