Mendes Wood DM presents Nika Kutateladze’s A Man, a Calf, and Another Man, his first solo exhibition in New York. Featuring oil paintings on wood board and a large unstretched canvas, the works explore life in rural Georgia, depicting camaraderie, solitude, and the natural world’s quiet dominance. Using muted tones and abstracted figures, Kutateladze evokes strength and fragility. His large-scale canvas, affixed to the wall, signals defiance amid increasing restrictions on artistic expression.
