A+B contemporary art is proud to annonce the openting exhibiton of its 2014/2015 season with a
solo show of the Georgian artist Sophie Ko Chkheidze. The volume Finis Initium by the philosopher
Federico Ferrari is published on the occasion. Every one of one hundred copy is numbered and it's
characterize by an artistic intervention of the artist.
Sophie Ko Chkheidze’s ash and pure pigment works are original shapes, breaks, collapses, shifts
expressing our relationship with images, things and ourselves. As Federico Ferrari in Finis initium -a
limited edition book with a comment by the artist about her works in the exhibition – writes, Sophie
Ko Chkheidze’s paintings are “panels of ashes where spots of pure color emerge like if they were
lost, like a miraculous appearing of something incredible and unexpected. Pigment whose luminous
strength tears the darkness that follows when the flame’s ecstasy extinguishes.”
