Spotlight Shifts from Bid Competition to Global Podium: A Conversation with Natalia Lashkhi, BI Auction Victor and Emerging Art Influence
Artist Natalia Lashkhi Set for Autumn Auction and Solo Exhibition
Natalia Lashkhi, a renowned Georgian artist, is preparing for an exciting autumn as one of her artworks has been selected for Ria Bid's live auction this season, and she is also set to hold a solo exhibition showcasing her recent works.
Lashkhi's participation in the BI Auction in the past has proven to be a significant turning point in her career. Winning the BI Auction Competition in the 2020-2021 period provided her with a critical platform that boosted her visibility and credibility in the Georgian and international art scenes. Since then, she has been recognised as a rising art voice, transitioning from initial auction spotlight to gaining opportunities on international stages.
The upcoming live auction by Ria Bid is a testament to Lashkhi's growing influence in the art world. However, the artwork that will be auctioned off has yet to be specified.
Teaching at the Tbilisi State Academy of Art has become a fulfilling aspect of Lashkhi's artistic journey, while her works are now part of private collections in several countries, including Georgia, Germany, Austria, Turkey, the USA, UAE, Lithuania, Latvia, Russia, and China.
Lashkhi's solo exhibition, scheduled soon, will be a personal project reflecting her inner state. The theme of the exhibition is yet to be publicly announced, but it is expected to centre around existential issues and her emotional landscapes.
Contemporary art, with new artworks being created constantly, is an inseparable part of everyday life. Lashkhi focuses on inward exploration to create unique and meaningful art. Her works, as a result, resonate with a wide audience, making her a beloved figure in the art world.
The BI Auction Competition has had a significant positive impact on emerging Georgian artists, as exemplified by Lashkhi's career. After winning the competition, Lashkhi's career has been dynamic, with participation in solo and group exhibitions, international projects, plein airs, and artist residencies in various countries including Germany, Malta, and Lithuania.
In conclusion, the BI Auction Competition serves as an effective launchpad for young Georgian artists, helping them gain both national acclaim and pathways to broader exposure. Lashkhi's trajectory demonstrates that the competition not only validates emerging talent but also fosters professional growth and recognition beyond Georgia.
