Lado likes to emphasize that he’s a product of good Soviet academic training. I’ve never met an artist so fully versed in the history of all the art that came before him. He graduated from the Sokhumi College of Art in 1994 and the Tbilisi Academy of Art in 2001. He has had personal exhibitions in TMS Gallery and Old Gallery in Tbilisi, and has participated in ten major group exhibitions, including one in the Georgian Embassy in London, UNESCO in Paris, and in the Tbilisi History Museum (Carvasla) and the National Gallery of Art. He has participated in international projects in Russia and Azerbaijan, and has lived and worked in Georgia, Russia, Azerbaijan, the United States, and Hungary, where he currently resides.
