Oblique: Elené Shatberashvili and Sopho Kobidzé

22 March - 3 May 2025
Overview
Oblique, Elené Shatberashvili and Sopho Kobidzé
galerie frank elbaz is pleased to present the first exhibition of Sopho Kobidze and Elené Shatberashvili, a visual dialogue that reflects their friendship and creative exchange. The exhibition, which oscillates between abstraction and figuration, explores a unique space referred in the title Oblique, a space that defies conventional definitions. Neither perpendicular nor parallel to the horizon, it serves as a meeting point for their artistic worlds, a path that invites free and unrestrained reflection. Through this, they open a singular path for visitors to enter a realm where dreams and reality come together.
An excerpt from the email exchanges between Sopho Kobidze and Elené Shatberashvili, conducted in the lead-up to the exhibition, is available for viewing. These exchanges provide insight into their creative process and the mutual inspiration they draw from each other. The document is available in French, English, and Georgian— their native language.
At the invitation of Elené Shatberashvili and Sopho Kobidze, composer Scott McCulloch will present a musical performance during the opening reception on Saturday, 22 March starting at 8 pm at the gallery.
