Ani Toidze (b. 1995) is a visual artist based in Tbilisi whose work explores the relationship between image, space, and ontological openness. Her paintings create meditative environments where figures, objects, and signs appear suspended within luminous fields of color and light. Freed from conventional cultural functions, these elements become weightless presences, participating in a spatial language that emphasises silence, contemplation, and the dissolution of narrative meaning.

Through layered chromatic surfaces and simplified symbolic forms, Toidze positions the feminine subject as a central actant, rearticulating historically patriarchal visual orders. Objects, animals, shadows, and fragments of lived reality drift in suspended states, forming poetic topographies of Being. Her luminous “space-light” absorbs figures and symbols into contemplative fields, evoking vulnerability, transcendence, and quiet exaltation.

Educated at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts (BA 2017; MA 2018), Toidze has exhibited widely in Georgia and internationally, including Vienna, Lisbon, France, Cyprus, and Italy, presenting work that invites viewers to experience space as a transformative presence rather than a mere background.

Uta Bekaia (b. 1974) is an artist whose practice reimagines ancestral rituals through the lens of a queer utopian future. Drawing on a fascination with traditional crafts, he creates richly adorned wearable sculptures, ceramics, tapestries, and objects, which he integrates into immersive installations, films, and live performances.

Bekaia studied Industrial Design at the Tbilisi Mtsire Academy. His work has been shown internationally at Kimball Art Center (UT), Marisa Newman Projects (NY), Museum of Modern Art (Tbilisi), Kiev Biennial (Ukraine), Kuad Gallery (Istanbul), SchauFenster (Berlin), among others. His practice has been featured in W Magazine, MoMA Post, ArtAsiaPacific, Huffington Post, and The Art Newspaper.

He has been commissioned for public art performances and parades by Tbilisi City Hall, UNESCO, and TurnPark Art Space, and participated in residencies including ART OMI, MAD, and Garikula Art Residency. Bekaia is a founding member of FUNGUS, a platform supporting queer-identifying creatives in the Caucasus.

Aleksey Dubinsky (b. 1985, Grozny) is a visual artist based in Tbilisi whose work transforms everyday life into realms of magical realism. He studied at the Nizhny Novgorod Art College (2001–2005) in Design of the Architectural Environment and graduated in 2011 from the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture of Ilya Glazunov, where he trained in historical and religious painting. That year, he won the Martini Art Weekend, earning a study trip to Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design in London.

Dubinsky works across painting, drawing, sculpture, and research-based projects, collecting sketches, photographs, recordings, and fragments of text or melody to recombine into new narratives. Often described as "everyday surrealism" or "magical realism," his art emphasizes the extraordinary in ordinary life. Memory, its transformation, and selective reconstruction are central to his practice, exploring dualities of joy and sadness, past and present, life and death.

Through his work, Dubinsky reveals the quiet magic and hidden significance of everyday moments.
