| Tamara Khundadze uses the painting medium in association
with short texts, that integrate or contradict the represented subject.
A deep ambiguity dominates her entire production. For example, we
can see a foreshortened female figure lying in a tub. That could
be indifferently a moment of complete relax or a still taken from
a thriller movie.
The scene is connotated by a sentence amplifying the possible
misunderstanding. It was a lovely place, refers to a no more existing
past, probably replaced by an amguished present. More brutal the
meaning of You never got me down, where the question of security
is reduced to a crude instinct of violence.
