The Tbilisi Mural Fest, established in 2019, continues to pursue its goal of transforming the capital of Georgia into a vast open-air gallery by covering the facades of multilevel buildings with large-scale paintings. Organized by artists working under the name TMF Studio, the initiative treats contemporary murals as a way to reframe rigid, utilitarian architecture, turning otherwise monotonous developments into visually engaging surfaces that reshape the urban atmosphere.
The most recent works are largely representational, depicting human figures immersed in everyday activities such as harvesting or dancing, while international contributors introduce a range of stylistic approaches within often narrow, vertical formats. Across figurative, geometric, and abstract tendencies, the murals expand throughout both commercial and residential areas, reinforcing the festival’s ongoing growth and its role in embedding contemporary visual culture directly into the city’s built environment.
