Ministry of Justice promotes Georgian artists

A raft of modern paintings by some of Georgia’s leading artists have a new home – in the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice waiting room has been temporarily transformed into an exhibition space.

The ninth floor of the Ministry of Justice, where the rooms of Justice Minister Tea Tsulukiani and Deputy Minister Alexandre Baramidze are located, are hosting a number of paintings by modern Georgian artists.

Tsulukiani and Baramidze thought transforming the reception into a temporary "exhibition hall” would help promote contemporary Georgian artists. That was why this non-traditional space was chosen.

The first Georgian painter involved in the project is Levan Lagidze. His seven paintings have been exposed in the reception area since February 9.

The Ministry of Justice will host Lagidze’s paintings until the end of February, after which another artist’s works will be exhibited.
