Abstraction 1926

David Kakabadzé’s painting presents a cosmos of swirling lines and forms, rendered with an almost scientific precision. The chaotic yet structured composition evokes the nebula, the interstellar clouds of dust and gas where stars are born. The swirling vortex, reminiscent of the serpent Ouroboros, recurs in various cultures as a symbol of cyclical renewal, constantly recreating itself. One can see the echoes of these ancient symbols in the abstract forms here, a visual representation of the eternal cycle of creation and destruction. The emotional impact is profound, evoking a sense of cosmic awe. This echoes through time, from ancient mythologies to modern science, and invites viewers to contemplate their place within the vast expanse of the universe. The symbol of the cosmos, ever-present, resurfaces, transformed, yet eternally resonant.
