Levan Songulashvili is one of the most popular and richest Painter who was born on August 17, 1991 in Tbilisi, Georgia. Songulashvili is very concerned about the idea of mutability, and the possibility of possessing an independent sense of emergent identities. This concern is especially relevant to the recent reemergence of Georgia as an autonomous state in 1991, the year of the artist.
Songulashvili’s massive stage installation “IDEM ET IDEM”, was displayed for Giya Kancheli’s historic concert. It featured the world premiere of Songulashvili’s latest musical composition for choir and chamber orchestra. The composer named his work after Songulashvili’s painting series.
In the work, a singular figure stands transfixed in the centre and median point of the concourse of the Oculus building in New York (close to the site of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centre), while all around him foot passengers are shown walking backwards as in a state of repetitive reverse gear.Participant spectators add themselves to the greater view over the balloon-like heads of a putative audience. It evokes the question of our own daily life of conformity and senseless repetition. The video was developed from and related to the painting Idem et Idem, a Latin usage of repetition (literally “Same and the same”) revealing a close and immediate intimacy between the artist’s time-based film and video works and paintings.
Levan Songulashvili whether he is focussed on video or painting has developed a marked accomplishment that places him in a long tradition of artist’s that reflect on states of meditative consciousness. The STYX is for the viewer a personal journey through emotion and consciousness, a sensory immersion into mortality and sensibility — the passage that is a human life.
The 19-year-old artist was invited to Germany in 2011 as part of an art project. He designed a play with his German counterparts. He was heavily influenced by western culture, German philosophy, French psychoanalysis, and French philosophy. His return to Georgia marked the beginning of a new stage in his artistic career.

Levan Songulashvili, Georgian born and based in New York, is a visual artist, painter, draughtsman as well as an installation and multimedia artist.
In 2018, Songulashvili had his extensive autonomous exhibition “The STYX” in two gallery spaces, curated by Mark Gisbourne. The show included a series of paintings and film installations devoted to the self-regenerative medusozoa jellyfish. In the second space there was another projected video three-wall environmental installation “The System of Objects”, filmed in the Guggenheim Museum and newly completed Oculus in New York. The work also incorporated an extensive and innovative foreground receding sculptural component. The overall theme of the exhibition was that of “passage” and life journey, very much in line with philosopher-anthropologist Joseph Campbell’s famous historical anthropology of The Hero’s Journey, from life to death, ignorance to enlightenment, from day to night, and that of eternal return. For Songulashvili this served as both a universal metaphor and creative theme, and also as an extended simile of the artist’s own evolving life experience.

His use of sepia, white, grey, and black ties in with a long history of black and white art (paintings and graphics) that has sought to bring inner clarity to creative forms of expression. The use of colour is dependent all but totally on light while black and white are absolute polarities. It therefore also touches upon matter related to popular film, video, photography, and specifically the polemic at the beginnings of Western Art, namely darkness (Pliny’s drawing a line around a shadow), or light (Plato’s cave and the theory of reflection).
