Press Release
From portraiture and still-lives to grandly orchestrated compositions, the work of Zeiko Basheleishvili always contains a hint of mystery and illusion. Zeiko’s palette combines dramatic pastels and loose brushwork used to model these surrealist-inspired works. From early childhood Zeiko has attempted to express the elusive content of dreams and imagination, allowing symbols and figures to blend together with often little or no division between background and foreground. The imagery, in keeping with the unpredictable nature of dreams, ranges from fearful to quaint, the viewer is as likely to encounter the wrath of a fire-breathing monster as they are to discover a bird landing disarmingly on a portrait-sitter’s shoulder. A native of Tbilisi, Georgia, Zeiko exhibited widely in Russia, Germany, and the Ukraine before settling in Athens, where she is very active in the arts community.
