NEW YORK, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgian artist David Ivanishvili is quickly emerging as a powerful new voice in contemporary art, following a breakout presentation at Art Expo New York 2023, where his vivid, emotionally charged paintings drew critical acclaim and led to multiple contracts with top-tier American galleries.
Born in Georgia, Ivanishvili has forged an unconventional artistic path-from childhood sketchbooks to commanding international exhibitions. Though he studied economics, he chose passion over profession, even framing his university diploma in a crown of thorns as a symbol of defiance and artistic devotion.
"Art is my way of speaking a universal language," says Ivanishvili. "When I paint, I transmit energy and emotion across the canvas-across borders. Seeing New Yorkers stop, feel, and connect with my work told me my art had truly arrived in America."
Ivanishvili's signature style fuses architectural precision with abstract expressionism. His paintings juxtapose meticulously rendered urban landscapes-such as panoramic views of Old Tbilisi or contemporary New York-with explosive color fields that evoke movement, memory, and meaning. His works are already held in private collections in New Jersey, New York, and Oregon, alongside those in France, Ukraine, Georgia, South Korea, Malta, and beyond.
Despite lacking formal sponsorship, Ivanishvili has fearlessly self-funded his global exhibitions, driven by an unwavering belief in the power of art to stand on its own. "Americans value perseverance and independence-and my journey speaks to that spirit," he says.
His Art Expo New York debut was a pivotal moment. The annual Manhattan fair draws tens of thousands of collectors, curators, and cultural leaders from around the world. Ivanishvili's dynamic booth attracted high-profile attention and resulted in multiple exhibition and collaboration deals across major U.S. art hubs, including Los Angeles, Miami, the Hamptons, and New York City. A forthcoming monograph, Contemporary Art 2023, will feature him as one of the year's standout artists.
A decorated cultural ambassador, Ivanishvili has received the Medal of Honor of Georgia, the Order of St. Anne (2017), and accolades from Italy, Ukraine, and Malta. Yet, he insists, "No award compares to the tears of someone moved by my painting. That is my greatest honor."
