Georgia Nation Harmony is pleased to present Space Walker and the Cosmic Gaze, an exhibition of new work by Georgian artist Sergo Tbileli. On view are four large paintings, a 2025 painting of an astronaut, and a freestanding, three-sided painted structure nine feet high.
Tbileli approaches outer space not as an empty void, but as a field of continual formation. Beginning with a fluid wet medium, he builds the panels gradually from his own mixtures of pigments, industrial colors, varnishes, and additional media. Applied by hand and through brush, sponge, airbrush, and specialized tools, these layers evoke nebulae, stellar matter, gaseous clouds, gravity, and other forces that remain largely unseen.
Four modular wall works, Cosmic Gaze I–IV, surround the exhibition’s freestanding, three-sided center. Across nine panels, three painted faces unfold one after another as the viewer moves around the structure.
The exhibition extends Tbileli’s earlier Cosmic Creatures series while reengaging the abstract language of his 1990s practice. Presented as part of Georgia Nation Harmony’s ongoing Rooted in Culture project, it considers the sky not as a limit, but as the first threshold.

The central work, 2026
Painting in the round
Face 1 of 3
The emerging Space Walker. Nine panels, three faces, nine feet high: as you move around the structure, one face disappears while another comes into view.
Face 2 of 3
Planetary forms. Broad currents of color and atmospheric passages shift across the corners, so the work has to be assembled through movement and memory.
Face 3 of 3
Currents of color. Where the 2025 painting shows the astronaut already poised above the city, the obelisk reveals the Space Walker as a figure still coming into being.
Mixed media on canvas. Each face 108 × 48 in (274.3 × 121.9 cm).

An homage to Petre Otskheli
From the aviator to the astronaut
Tbileli describes Space Walker as an homage to Petre Otskheli’s designs for the 1936 film Winged Painter, also translated as Flying Painter. Otskheli’s aviator embodied the courageous dreamer of his era. The astronaut is that figure’s contemporary counterpart.
Petre Otskheli, Sketch for Winged Painter, 1936
Paper, watercolor and India ink, 43.7 × 31.5 cm. Art Palace of Georgia, Museum of Cultural History, Tbilisi.
Materials and method
Process
Tbileli prepares and modifies many of his own pigments, combining them with industrial colors, varnishes, and other media. Each layer alters the temperature, luminosity, and depth of the surface beneath it, so the paintings change with distance, movement, and light.
Wet medium, hand, brush, sponge, airbrush, and adapted tools.

Artist
Sergo Tbileli
Born 1958, Tbilisi, Georgia.
Sergo Tbileli was born in 1958 in Tbilisi, Georgia. His practice has developed over more than five decades through a dialogue between classical training, Georgian cultural memory, monumental art, theatrical imagination, and material experimentation.
He studied sculpture at the Iakob Nikoladze Art College and monumental art at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, and later pursued postgraduate studies in Saint Petersburg. His work in murals, stained glass, theater, film, and the restoration of historic Georgian churches shaped a practice in which painting is a gradual accumulation of color, texture, transparency, and material memory. His work has been exhibited across Georgia, Europe, Canada, and the United States.
