Jibson Khundadze (1926-) is a Georgian oil painter, graphic artist, and teacher. He won the people’s artist of Georgia award in 1985.
He studied at the Oil Painting Department of the Tbilisi State Academy of Fine Arts. Khundadze was expelled from the academy for his style of formalism, but he was reinstated shortly afterwards. From 1954, he taught at the Tbilisi State University and the Polytechnic Institute.
His landscape oil paintings contain a colourful description of the conflicts of the modern era. With Davit Kakabadze, he was one of the first Georgian artists to explore the boundaries of realism and to create a comprehensive ‘imagery’ of nature, not a ‘picture.’
