His works were heavily influenced by German expressionistic art and were housed in galleries and museums all over the world.
The current exhibition was dedicated to the 20thanniversary of the Goethe-Institute. The exhibition was part of a German-Georgian joint venture and aimed to improve future cultural relationships of both countries.
Kacharava was born in 1964 and graduated from Tbilisi State Academy of Arts. From 1986 until his death in 1994, he worked as a junior researcher at the Tbilisi Institute of Arts History. In his lifetime he also worked at Francuaza Fridrich Gallery, Köln in Germany.
