Temnikova & Kasela Gallery is proud to present group exhibition by Estonian self-taught artist Paul Kondas and Georgian artist Thea Gvetadze. The exhibition is curated by Vija Skangale.

The exhibition features two artists who lived in different geographies, times, and environments and never met. However, the ability to see the world through a lens of truth and unmasked perception is what distinguishes and brings together Paul and Thea. While Thea’s artistic practice reveals honest realities and hidden layers that often escape the gaze of the average observer, Paul’s paintings disclose the complexities of life—signs of resistance, whispers of dissent, and the quiet passions that drive human connection. Often unnoticed, they also expose the truth about political systems and relationships.

The two rooms constructed for this exhibition marry the artistic values and experiences of Paul and Thea, placing them on parallel paths, despite their different contexts. At the heart of this project is the embodiment of connections, which unites the two artists and weaves together invisible networks that transcend the constraints of time, distance, and political systems. These connections have the power to create an environment free from the divisions present in today's world. This exhibition showcases the coexistence of two artistic practices, filled with hope, truth, and possibility, creating a tapestry of revelations and connections.

Thea’s homage to Paul Kondas’s legacy results in the creation of project-based works, including textiles, mosaics, paintings, and installations for this exhibition, following a research trip to Estonia in August 2025.
