LEIGH ANTHONY DEHANEY
Canadian born artist Leigh Anthony Dehaney’s background is a mixture of fine arts and technology. After graduating from Mount Royal College with an Arts and Science Diploma Dehaney obtained his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Calgary. In 2003 he was accepted into the Alberta College of Art + Design where he was drawn towards Media Arts & Digital Technologies. Best known for his visual work, Dehaney’s influences often include Soviet constructivist architecture, industrial ruins, painted dumpsters, vintage technology, and mechanical systems. Dehaney’s personal practice/gallery work often depicts portraiture within a derelict and contaminated world, much of which has been largely influenced by unmarked visits to industrial Cuba and Eastern Germany. His visual artwork and experimental videos have been exhibited and featured both locally and internationally, most notably with CBC's Arts Review (Canada), Gabrichidze Gallery (Brussels), Shufflesome (Germany), Jones Soda Co. (USA), and Fotofest (USA). Professionally Dehaney consults as a “graphics dude” through his company Dravenfield Ltd. founded in 2004. Currently he spends his free time documenting industrial/urban environments in Eastern Europe and is working on his next experimental short flick “Tenement+IV”, which he hopes to have completed by May 2008.
At this page we have collected the most notable artists who were exhibited by Gallery Gabrichidze in the past two years. Some of them were already well established before their work was displayed with us, while others, like
this work have something in common: the strong social or political message to the public.

Helmut Zwerger from Tirol, Austria is a witness of the storm. Twentieth century passed through his life covering our planet with barb wire, nigh clubs, nuclear plants, stadiums, concentration camps, parking lots, skyscrapers and airports. Twentieth century blossomed itself into a nuclear mushroom and had thrown a man straight onto the moon before falling down onto the pages of history books, covered by the dust of fallen WTC towers. Fist Helmut just stood watching, but later he decided to preserve the evidence of what he had seen. The 20th century storm was bloody and joyful at the same time.
It has sent millions of innocent people straight into the graves, but had helped millions of others to achieve yet unseen glory and prosperity... It filled in the air both with ugly screaming of hate and most cheerful melodies human ears have ever heard. Helmut Zwerger decided to fix the bloody, laughing, struggling and joyful faces of the past century on his canvas before this evidence would be washed away like the writing on the sand.

ANTONIO MEZA
José Antonio Meza Andrade is a Mexican artist. He began his visual arts training in Mexico in 1986. As a teenager, he participated in many exhibitions with drawings and oil paintings. His interest in photography started at that time. His formal studies consist of a 5-year Mexican university degree in Communication Sciences. (University of the Americas, Puebla: 1994 – 1999). During those years, he became interested in the moving image, developing various skills such as screenwriting, editing, video-camera operation and filmmaking. From 1997 to 2004, he worked as a freelance filmmaker in Mexico and also obtained other diplomas in disciplines such as “Cinema Scriptwriting”, “Actors Direction” and “Documentary Filmmaking”.
In 2004, he moved to Paris where he obtained a Master's Degree in “Cinema Analysis” (University of Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle
2004 – 2006). Since 2005 he has worked as a freelance photographer. His work includes artistic photography, portraits, still photography for cinema and theater, travel photography and advertising. May 2007 is the date of his first collective exhibition in France, held in the Museum Roy Adzdak of Paris and entitled “Fugitiviste”.
"I was born in Mexico City, Mexico during the 60s." says Gabriella " I studied Art at Wright State University. My life is full of experiences that have allowed me to develop as an artists. Being born in Mexico has embedded great fondess for what most people would label as morbid images. Mexican art is a mixture of pre-Hispanic images blended with the graphic and sometimes terrifying images of a bleeding and battered Jesus. The horrendous realities of constant war and political instability that the country experienced from 1810 to the 1930's were the inspiration for many great artists. some wanted to use their artistic abilities to attest to the brutal everyday life in Mexico. Others used their art to express their political opinions. When I paint or create sculptures I see a fusion of influences from my native country. Jose Maria Velasco and his landscapes, Posada and his morbid sense of humor, diego Rivera and his desire to show us the harsh reality of the life of the Mexican peasants oppressed by the burgeoisie, and Frida Khalo, who painted from the heart in order for us to sense her physical and psychological torture.
Due to many twists and turns encountered in my life, I only started to take my personal art work seriously in the last five years. I have to thank my best friend and husband Will for encouraging me to develop myself as an artists. He believed in me and saw something in me I did not believe I could achieve. I am also greatful to have a father whose artistic talent fostered,in me, a passion for art."

MICHAEL SCHINARAKIS

Michael Schinarakis was born in 1965 in Belgium, of Greek origin. Up until the age of 20 his life was divided between these two countries and their different cultures. It was during this period that he first began to paint.
Although mainly resident in Belgium, his paintings are inspired by the typical colours and images of Greece. Little by little he moved away from his original source of inspiration and evolved more personal and detailed forms and colours. Today, having reached a certain artistic maturity, he is unveiling his paintings filled with warm colours and artistic forms. An artist worth discovering.

NICK GABRICHIDZE
Helen Tilly is French/Belgian photographer and artist currently living in Brussels where she is running a small gallery in her own apartment. Her photographs resemble the composition of well known classics of Western European art like Renoir, David or Monet; with her own friends and colleagues as models.
She calls her ironic work the “demystification of the acquired Western codes, using the elements of my own vision of the world. The scenes are held in my own private apartment. The actors are my close friends.”
”This is a universe of a torn youth which hesitates between the desire of absolute pleasure and routine “everyday life”: my space is a hiding place, true a nature. The color scheme: green, vintage, nauseous, illustrate this decline, as well as the generosity of human body.” says Helen.

Michael Schinarakis or Hellene Tilly were discovered by us at the dawn of their artistic path and had their first exhibition ever in our facility.
Dispute the wide variety of styles, media and concepts all
sexuality to find answers about society others use the art as a direct tool to address the world, but all of them are serving the general purpose of Gallery Gabrichidze: to use art as a bridge between society and politics, and to restore the role of art as a powerful tool in human development
