Coherence Ninka Skhiereli

Cologne 2025/01/19 2025/03/22

Ninka Skhiereli (b. 1991 in Tblisi, GE) presents her first solo exhibition Coherence at R;68 in Cologne.

Reflecting the artist’s exploration of the multiplicity of human experience, Coherence unfolds through vivid contrasts and shifting forms. Drawing inspiration from the concept of quantum coherence — where a single particle can exist in multiple states and locations simultaneously while remaining a unified whole — Skhiereli’s work embraces incongruities and sudden transitions. Throughout the exhibition, two distinct bodies of work emerge. On one hand, intimate portraits convey a subtle sense of unease and social struggle. On the other, abstract pieces merge form and color into a quiet sense of serenity.

Employing a variety of techniques, Skhiereli’s art balances thought-provoking themes with a delicate lightness, offering space to find coherence within the diversity of one’s own experiences.
