Someone once wrote that «style is character», and certainly no contemporary artist whose name springs immediately to mind demonstrates this truism more effectively than the Russian painter Leyan Urushadze, who has exhibited widely throughout his own country, as well as in Paris, New York, Vienna, Rome, Lisbon, and elsewhere. For Urushadze is a restlessly prolific talent who works in such a wide variety of figurative and abstract veins that he could conceivably put together his own group show!
