Teenage art prodigy hosts maiden Tbilisi exhibition

An award-winning young Georgian artist is hosting his first personal exhibition in Tbilisi.

Giorgi Zibzibadze, 14, will present his works at Frontline Club Georgia at an exhibition, launching tomorrow. The exhibition will include New Year's Eve activities for children and a screening of an animation film.

The young artist first got involved in painting at age two.

Despite being in his youth, Zibzibadze won the Best Graphical Work prize of a recent children's art exhibition at the Tbilisi-based Vanda Gallery. Recently he has become known for his minimalist but detailed works in ink.

Earlier this year Zibzibadze was one of the speakers at the 2015 TEDx Youth Tbilisi event.

Zibzibadze won the Best Graphical Work of a children's art exhibition at the Tbilisi-based Vanda Gallery. 

The teenager was also part of a creative group that created a comics series on the recent history of Georgia, and worked as a Youth Jury member at the Giffoni Film Festival in Tbilisi in October.

His exhibition will open at Frontline Club Georgia at 2pm tomorrow. Organisers said young guests to the exhibition will be able to paint New Year's Tree decorations and assemble a festive paper tree before attending a screening of a 2013 multimedia project involving four animation films.
