Black Sea
Levan Songulashvili & Christian Awe
68 Projects by Galerie Kornfeld
Berlin, Germany | 2018.
In the exhibition “Black Sea” 68 Projects presents works by the Georgian painter Levan Songulashvili and Berlin painter Christian Awe. The show combines powerful, life-affirming color compositions by Awe with the black and white philosophical approach to painting by Songulashvili. Two artists, two flows, two worlds: together at 68 Projects.
The motives and emotional medium is water, its energy, its depth and intangibility, its fire, its colors. The elixir of life that, like the air we breathe, is fleeting and unfathomable, yet unlike air – leaves no more than a wet glow upon the skin. Water that is colorless and yet reflects all colors. Water that creates fertility, quenches thirst; and the fire that purifies, carries and floods us, that stands still or flows to the sea, which is never the same when we dive in it. Part of the myth of life and the hereafter that erases the memory and yet stores all memory as it flows through the layers of rock.
