Muse

Creator and a muse - one more passion connecting Tbileli’s painting with the antique Mythology. By Greek Mythos muses, daughters of Zeusus and Mnemocina, were considered to be the protectors of science, poetry and art. Living on Olympus Mountain, they carried the obligation to please the Gods. The Muse theme is not left untouched in European painting. The elegant outline of a woman on a man’s knees is clearly perceivable, thus making it the conceptional and visual centre of the composition. Comprehended details and attribution precisely defines the personages. A red flower strengthens the decorativeness against the woman’s artistic face. The flower ironically hints on the Muse benevolence to the creator. His expression relatively more strained than that of the Muses holding a pallet all uses the connection with Fine Arts.

Venice Carnival

 Each historical city owns their private archive, witnessing the originality and incomprehensively. Venice carnival with its luxury attribution – masks, marionettes, fancy-dress marching and feasts-shows the charm of Medieval epoch festivals in modern time. Decorative and theatricality due to Tbileli wonderfully correspond to carnival and feast themes. ”Venice Carnival” consists of three independent pictorial works. Tbileli creates decorative panos marked out with atheism and elegance. Figures, against the whole length of the composition are dominative. In the third composition is more figurative. In the front there are woman and man’s figures. Behind of the woman’s figure there is horse. The composition development shows  the love intrigue, that is depicted by woman’s look and face. Between the woman’s and man’s figures there is decorative figure of a little animal.Thus these three compositions unify different, but at the same time rather characteristic carnival scenes causing some cheerful disposition. Due to its narrative skill this work demands thorough observation. The subject opens little by little. Beyond the masks, dolls, peacocks, decorative dogs, birds and flowers an eye catches some views of Venice architecture, bridges, etc. The position of being sensively in close subordination towards the main – carnival theme is worth mentioning here.  The painter brings simultaneously his imagined fairy world and quite the concrete – Venice carnival theme, thus realizing the most elegant and expressive composition.

In this composition two women’s figures are marked out with grace and elegance. The peculiar decorative accent in Tbileli’s works is made on hair – done. Sometimes the hair is given decorated with garlands, bows and hats; faces – covered with masks; the figures are represented sitting without any support. The content hints on the love intrigue, judging by skillfully realization of the faces. The naked body can be distinguished beyond the thin lace cloth.Thus these three compositions unify different, but at the same time rather characteristic carnival scenes causing some cheerful disposition.

 Unusual synthesis of European realistic art traditions and oriental – decorative style is the definitive point of Tbileli’s artistic language. That’s why his subjective or decorative compositions bear special aesthetic and emotion. While depicting  people, animals or plant figures, the painter appeals to stylization and deformation, though permanently retaining the real form of a main portrayal. Figures, included in to the most complicated carpet – like background, organically blend in the pictorial – formal structure of the picture.

New-Nude

Naked figure is one of the chief motives in Fine Art. Sergo Tbileli in his creation often depicts “New” getting other different contextual loading as well. Often it’s a lying woman, sometimes - ancient mythos hero. Very characteristic plastic- voluminous and decorative synthesis is marked out with peculiar elegance.  Figure structuring proportions painting, yield to the principles of classic traditions. Tonal design of body extent is characterized by special lightness. The woman’s figure, half lying down against the lion’s back sometimes is clear, sometimes - transformed into ornamental drawing. This is the peculiar method for the painter’s creation, becoming definitely mystic. Thin cloth spreading over her body like a lace repeats the decorative lines of the background. City views and landscape in separate segments cause due dynamism. The main pictorial function is realized by underlining color, form and decorative feature of the line. The background, constructed with small – sized geometrical and flower forms, in its turn are divided into some segments, assigning the feeling of tidiness to this decorative “carpet”. The way has been selected to arrange the flatness, the original synthesis of geometrical structure and ornamental concede the dynamism to the work.

Dance of Wolves

  Choosing the subjects for his works Tbileli rarely appeals to mythology, folklore, the improbable fare world gives vague stuff for his abundant fancy. Ancient people considered wolf to be their Totem and adored him. Wolf as it is and wolf-faced man mythological were connected with the worship of a leader. Wolf headed was called Georgian King Vakhtang Gorgassali. At the same tame wolf included in itself super power and was associated with the evil. This motive and its various interpretations are rarely touched in the western art and culture.  “Dance of Wolves” is one of Tbileli’s best works. The artistic comprehence of the theme is realized with particular expressiveness and emotion.  On a good-sized vertical flatness a dancing wearing wolf mask man is holding a hooter. On the hunched legs a swan with exposed wings can be noticed against the man’s chest. Beneath his knees a wolf’s half-fantastic figure, hardly being perceived as an animal is given. The staring eyes, sharp teeth, fur around its neck like a collar forces the impression. Different ornamental motives alternate. Being in permanent movement, they ascertain the stipulation of dynamical impression. Here the painter achieves decorative and figurative synthesis. Typical and picturesque artistic images, peculiarity of compositional solvation and aesthete has got the force of great influence upon the spectators. The picture could be very well located in a wide space, thus making special decorative accent.

Golden Cockerel

   Sergo Tbileli’s passion for classic music couldn’t help revealing in one more pictorial work. Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera “Golden Cockerel” got to be one of the favorite stages of Diaghilev’s Russian season. Russian tale with its fantastic development of the plot gives enormous material to the painter for interpretation. Tbileli’s intention is far from literary illustration. He tries to make one feel its mystified dispose. Already worked out private type not seldom recurring in different pictures narrates its own history. Clear accent is made upon faces, hands and a woman’s half naked breast. Calm expression of the face counteracts sufficient expressiveness of the hands and flat – decorative solvation of the background. The painter hints on the musical composition and represents depicted figures accompanied with musical instruments. These instruments are entirely involved into the common decorative compositions and only after that can be perceived up as the musical instruments. This tendency is observable and generally characteristic for Tbileli’s works. Peculiarly flexible line and elegance mark out “Golden Cockerel”. The flatness has been structured with small geometrical forms with flower ornaments included in. Arranging all the figures and compositional elements in some homogenous order gives the proper disposition of musicality and emotion.

Tristan and Isolda

     Narration, rich artistic fancy, characteristic point for Tbileli’s creation, offer his own interpretation of classical literary compositions. The invariable theme of this Medieval European literary monument is transformed into emotional item. The woman’s and the man’s figures are depicted lying down on the grass, all covered with flowers. The woman, lacking the man’s emotional activity, somehow compensates it, with a calm expression and light color of her body. The plot is very peculiarly and originally open by expressing open-winged pigeons in front of the loving couple. Ornamental painting skill together with that of clothes of the figures is worth of singling out by their expressiveness. Stylisized decorative treatment of the background alternates with the realistic picture. Sometimes, the themes on the frame seem to be quite independent, though at the same time appear to be some continuation of that. Combination of golden, green and red colors occupies considerable area in this work. Combination of golden and green of different keys is particularly distinguished. Color, compositional originality, artistic cogency, attains special dynamism to this picture and unusually narrates the story of this tragic love.

Triptych

To represent the similar by artistic or subjective solvation compositions in one context is characteristic for Tbileli’s creation. The triptych, based on antique theme consists of three independent topics: “Dionysus and Satyrus”, “Xiron the Centaur”, “The XII song of Metamorphosis”.  “Xiron the Centaur is the central depiction, towards which the other compositions” all elements are orientated, though separately remain completed.

Triptych. Dionysus & Satyr

  Antique mythos appears to be one of the favorite themes of Tbileli’s excurses.
Vine and wine-making in Georgia has always been closely connected with ancient cultural traditions and rituals. Dionysus, the God of vine and Feast, was especially popular. Always being among cheerful attendants.  Satyrus gains the privilege to be the chief hero for the painter’s fancy in concern with antique mythos. Occupying the front line he’s given actively moving, traditionally depicted with human head and torso, bearing small horns and hoofs. Tbileli convincingly refers the variety of this cheerful demon. In decorative net the painter makes figurative accent on vine and pomegranates, being in symbolical connection with antique Mythos heroes and does not fail to remain in the memory for a long time.

Triptych. Centaur Xiron

According to Greek mythos, Xiron, the son from Khronos and Okeanida’s secret marriage, was born half horse and half man in form. To avoid Rea’s wrath, Khronos got horse’s image. Xiron was different from   other centaurs for his peculiar wisdom and perspicacity.  The composition is spread on several levels. The main flatness is bordered by geometrical and ornamented frame. The centaur and sitting backward woman occupy advanced position. Turning to each other bodies, glance, gesticulation all refer a firm tandem and definite psychological unit. The background at first sight refers some ornamental-decorative flatness, but having been thoroughly observed the flatness   should be obviously transmitted as to be obeyed to the objective logic. In the upper part the flatness is wholly covered with geometrical ornament, finally only ascertaining the building outline. The last is convectively shown in the form of ancient monastery fragments. The painter purposively touches the fairy world trying to find his own original interpretation by means of using real forms and distinctively expressed decorative motifs’ unusual synthesis.

Triptych. XII Song Metamorphose

     The poem “Metamorphosis” by Roman poet Ovidius is one of his best works. Ancient Greek and Roman myths and poems attain a new sonority. Attractively narrated episodes about everlasting alternations, non-stop movement, transformation leaves the limit free material to the painter for interpretation and fancy.   Transformation is characteristic for Tbileli’s art. Very often definite items transfigure into geometrical or flower ornaments, thus greatly influencing the spectator. The painter’s special interest in this poem is not accidental. That was the attempt to interpret his  own impression had been gained from it. Troas Cycle stories are narrated in the X11 book of Metamorphosis. Tbileli never appeals to the illustration of a certain plot, but makes somewhat pictorial-figurative association on the given story. In this picture all co positive elements – line, color spot, form, gesticulation, silhouettes are depicted in motion and makes unusual dynamic colorful composition.

Claude Debussy The Ballet AFTERNOON OF A FAUN

   There were not a few artists of the XX century who tried to express the combination of sonority, mood and emotion of musical tunes or a picture with the help of figurative art visual methods.  Poetical expressiveness represents the inspiration of Tbileli’s colorful opus. Permanent alternation of the artistic image due to impressionism is obviously felt. Refined, nervous silhouette and rhythmical colorful combination demand the appropriate impression. Polystyle – oriental decorativeness and western realistic traditions synthesis due to Tbileli’s creation, has been manifested in most precise way. Organically combinated realistic and fantastic points deal with music and Faun’s fairy world that of Debussy’s.
