Tbilisi-born artist Nodar Khokhobashvili, represented by Naples’ East West Fine Art, offers a rough-hewn approach to realism through textured works on wood. His Salty Fish and Pickle is simple—depicting a fish, two pickles and a glass of clear liquid—yet striking in its use of color.
The vibrant green cucumbers cut through the largely grayscale palette; while the rough wooden surface, reminiscent of his street art beginnings, adds a tactile dimension to the scene. “[Wood] invites the viewer to feel the weight of the objects, not just see them,” he says.
