Dogs of Our Neighborhood

The Dogs of Our Neighborhood collection is inspired by the playful and character-filled canine portraits that Rezo Gabriadze often featured in his sketches. These dogs, both friendly and not-so-friendly, roamed the streets of post-war Kutaisi, each with its own unique personality. One such dog may even be the one that gave the first review of the famous Gabriadze Theatre Tower.

“After the tower’s completion, the next morning we received our first unforgettable review. A little dog ran up, looked at our tower, said nothing, just scratched its back, lifted its leg, and wetted the bottom stone. Clearly, in a past life, it was an engineer.” – Rezo Gabriadze

This collection captures the humor, charm, and spirit of Georgia’s canine residents, immortalizing their presence in Rezo’s artwork.
