As I passed by the Licht Feld Gallery's space at Scope Art Fair this year, I couldn't help myself to getting lost in the darkness (and light) Bagrat's paintings exude... I felt the chaos of gore and unrelenting obsession. I photographed the thickness of his works, the shadows in the textures which later I learned came from a tireless process of glueing and unglueing. Fitting for the artist's self proclaimed lack of objective- because doing and undoing is the natural process of living; life by no means demands an there be a "meaning," these are created by us as we look upon our past, our finished projects and to the future, wherein we choose to do, or undo. And it would be a scary thing for anyone to live a life without meaning, so for an artist to proclaim there be "no message" in his art, I find that very brave and honest.
We create to satisfy ourselves First, we do what turns us all On-
What comes out requires no explanation.
