From March 9, Street Gallery will open the exhibition of famous Georgian street artist TamOonz at Fabrika’s yard in Tbilisi and in the streets of Batumi.
13 illustrations created about the 90s, which amusingly depicts the moments, characters and items typical of that time. Those of us who were kids in the '90s all remember 'Gang Boys with Babochka, 'Marojni Man', sitting in front of oil lamp and waiting for the repair of the damaged 9th block to recover the electricity, scrolling twisted cassette tapes with a pencil stuck in the cassette recorder and fixing broken tapes with nail polish etc. Illustrations were created during the pandemic in 2020, at a time when, like the 90s, we mostly had to stay at home, locked up and remembering old stories.
TamOonz is a famous Georgian Street Artist. She has considerable experience participating in many international and local festivals such as: Upfest, Europe’s largest annual street art and graffiti festival, which attracts around 400 artists to paint 50 venues throughout Bedminster and Southville, Bristol (UK), Prasad street art festival (Kathmandu, Nepal, 2016), Exhibition of collaborative works of European street artists (Belgium, 2016), Kosmopolite Art Tour (Belgium, 2012), Batumi Street Art Festival (2013,2014,2017), Fabrikaffiti /Street Art Festival, Wall painting / author of image poster (2016, 2017) and others.
