In "Emanations of the Hidden," Georgian contemporary artist Gela MIKAVA navigates the liminal spaces between visibility and obscurity, form and dissolution. This powerful composition resonates with the thematic concerns of presence and absence, encapsulating the artist's profound engagement with the human condition and societal structures.
The canvas is dominated by a rich, complex interplay of colors and textures. The base of the painting features deep, earthy tones that transition into vibrant pinks and purples, evoking a sense of both groundedness and ethereal transcendence. These hues bleed into one another, creating an almost organic movement that suggests the fluidity of life and the constant state of flux in which we exist.
Emerging from this chromatic backdrop are delicate, almost ghostly outlines of hands rendered in bright, linear strokes. These hands seem to float and overlap, their positions implying a spectrum of gestures—reaching, grasping, releasing. The hands' ephemeral quality contrasts starkly with the dense, textured background, symbolizing the tension between materiality and immateriality. This juxtaposition invites viewers to reflect on what is seen and unseen, known and unknown, in both personal and collective contexts.
The hands themselves are significant in their multiplicity and anonymity, representing the collective human struggle and the desire for connection, freedom, and expression. Their translucent nature hints at the hidden forces that shape our reality, whether they be societal pressures, historical legacies, or inner psychological states.
The background, punctuated by dark, rectangular forms, suggests architectural elements or voids, further enhancing the theme of hidden structures and the unseen frameworks that or confine us. These forms can be interpreted as windows, cells, or portals, each contributing to the narrative of seeking and unveiling.
MIKAVA's "Emanations of the Hidden" thus becomes a meditation on the intricate dance between the visible and the invisible, the tangible and the intangible. It challenges the viewer to consider the forces that shape our perceptions and the invisible hands that guide our existence. This work is a testament to the artist's ability to weave complex themes into a cohesive visual experience, offering a rich tapestry of meaning that invites contemplation and introspection.
In this painting, MIKAVA not only captures a moment in time but also opens a dialogue about the ongoing human quest for understanding and the perpetual unveiling of hidden truths.

Gela Mikava is a Georgian visual artist whose unique approach to artistry centers on repurposing Soviet-era cotton fabric stretch ceilings as his canvas of choice. In a world where materials are often discarded thoughtlessly, Mikava sees these ceilings as vessels of history, carrying the weight of generations' stories, emotions, and memories.
What distinguishes Mikava's work is the profound connection he forges between his canvas and its past. These stretch ceilings, witnesses to countless moments, retain the imprints of their previous inhabitants, each footprint and whisper etched into the fabric. When Mikava paints on these canvases, he feels a deep sense of responsibility to honor their heritage, allowing the canvas itself to guide his hand and convey its own narrative through his art.
At the core of Mikava's artistic philosophy lies the belief that the most powerful expressions emerge from the fusion of different materials and mediums. He strives to create art that not only ignites the imagination but also transcends time, evoking profound emotions in viewers. Each piece Mikava creates tells a story, not only of his vision but also of the rich histories embedded within the materials he employs.
