The works of one man. Tbilisi. Georgia September 2022

All across Tbilisi is some great artwork by "Goshart"

All "italicised" narrative has been taken from an online article

ALL PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MINE

"Goshaart: Street Art That Protects City from Vandalism"

"I do not paint on the walls of buildings, on stone fences or on sidewalks. Temporary building fences, which in Tbilisi can stand for months and years, are quite enough for me."

Once I noticed that if an object is not just cleaned, but provided with a drawing, even ordinary graffiti, then the locals wouldn't wish to spoil it.

I've observed that many drawings stay intact for several years! This gave me the idea that street art can carry not only a visual function, but also protect the city from vandalism.

I also choose to work on bad-looking blind doors, gates in yards, ridiculous iron boxes, that are rusty and dirty.

I seem to get the impression that the artist, likes cats and aliens!

This has to be my favourite

Which bloke and I am sure, some ladies, hasn't been in that situation?

True, cats and aliens are recurring themes. Wasn't there a cat in The Eighth Passenger? I believe that in a way art would help to protect the surfaces where it is exhibited, but it could be the opposite depending on how it is received and perceived.

I also see a concern of the artist regarding the issues of technology and playful spaces that are lost due to the influence of devices for incommunication hahaha.

Me gusta el arte de Goshaart ;)

cheers @nanixxx , thanks for stopping by, I shall have to google the 8th passenger!!! I think it is well received in Tbilisi as the local council officials do not want to destroy it.

Unique art to break the ugly temporary wall structures used to block view, something to keep one entertained while walking.

Gosh - there is so much to see in Georgia- you were having a field day. The best was saved for last but I loved it all. He beautified the street in such a fitting way - no wonder it is protected. The artist did make the “city brighter”. I also like the one with “no more cats and aliens” - he has a good sense of humor.

Cool to see all the works and the interview of the artist. And he's right: a wall with a beautiful StreetArt work is less likely to be tagged. It beautifies the neighborhood. Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community.

Have a great day
