Home, Sweet Home
Rusudan Khizanishvili is based in Tbilisi, Georgia. She received her two BFAs in painting from the J. Nikoladze Art School and the Tbilisi State Academy of Art. In 2005 she got her MA in Film Studies from the Tbilisi State Academy of Art. For Rusudan a blank canvas is an escape road or intradimensional portal to an imaginary world populated by strong women who carry their social burden day in and day out, while retaining their archetypal allure. Rusudan also frequently includes animals that serve as symbolic guides between cultures and identities. The following is a small selection of her work.
Shambala
Tiger Girl
Black Bird
