Brussel, 24.10.2009-03.01.2010.




These last few years, the young Georgian artist has broken on the international art scene with mysterious installations made of sculptures, collages, films and paintings.

Andro Wekua’s work suggestively mingles drawing, painting, collage and sculpture. It is constructed of narratives which are centred on their subject yet remain open. Wekua situates his visual universe in a no man’s land, somehere between East and West, between aesthetical precision and improvisation. Reflecting both the melancholy of a childhood in a post-communist country and the tragic sense of history, Wekua explores the polysemy of images, media and signs of his generation.

Andro Wekua, born in 1977 in Georgia, lives and works in Zurich and Berlin.
