“Cain Abel” by Vakho Bugadze is a stark and thought-provoking serigraphy that reinterprets the ancient biblical narrative through a contemporary lens. Produced in a limited edition of 12, each silkscreen print is hand-pulled, preserving the raw intensity and expressive linework characteristic of Bugadze’s style.

Vakho Bugadze (b. 1967, Tbilisi) is one of Georgia’s most influential contemporary artists, widely recognized for his bold figurative work and psychological depth. A graduate and later professor of the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, Bugadze’s art often explores themes of conflict, guilt, and existential struggle. In “Cain Abel,” he distills the timeless story into a visceral visual dialogue, capturing the emotional fracture between two archetypal brothers with haunting clarity.
