The Russian Academy Of Arts

Tsereteli Art Gallery hosts ten works by the talented Georgian sculptor Ghela Durujely who executes his imaginative ideas in stone, in particular, granite. In the titles of his sculptures on display “Beautiful Tragedy of the Rising Sun”, “Inner Side of the Wind”,  “Smoothed World” one can sense a paradoxicality of the artist’s mentality and his ability to think by purely plastic categories.

Ghela Durujely was born in 1970 in Georgia in the family of the Georgian sculptor Kokiashvili. In 2003 he graduated from the Tbilisi Academy of Arts where his teachers were prominent Georgian masters V. Chumburidze and G. Ochaury. When a student, the young sculptor participated in various competitions and symposiums. In 2005 Ghela Durujely came to Moscow and was actively involved in  its artistic life. Here, he enjoyed the support of noted Moscow sculptors V. Buinachev, D. Tugarinov, P. Turaev and others. In Moscow, Ghela Durujely is a frequent exhibitor and actively works in monumental forms which he places in the landscape environment.
