An Image, An EMOTION: KHATIA BUNIATISHVILI Sets Her Eyes on the Panther
Inspired by a design from the archives, the Maison’s ambassador reacts to an archival Panthère de Cartier drawing, and tells us how Cartier connects her to the past and to human nature itself.
"The naively precise and sincere contours and style are reminiscent of archaic murals, where a human being from a vanished civilization tries to perceive and grasp the enigma of this wild and divine world at the same time to translate his fantasy into the material language of art - painting.
Desires and beliefs that contradict each other; gazes that meet and reveal themselves in their own contradictory reflections. What seems recklessly solvable for the animal is a dilemma for the human, for whom the existence of a capacity to have and to make a choice destabilizes him personally, knowing that it is on this capacity that the justice or injustice of this world depends."
