TAVADI, 2011
In 2009, I was in Tbilisi and participated
in a group exhibition in the Tbilisi Museum (Carvasla). During my visit to
Georgia, my friend introduced me to the Georgian artist and enamel master
Irakli Megrelishvili. The visit to Irakli and getting to know his work was
so impressive that soon I had the idea to make a traditional form of
satevari, decorated only with enamel, in collaboration with him. I shared
this idea with Irakli and he agreed without hesitation, we calculated and
planned the project and calculated the project budget. The creation of the
working sketch took a long time. The initial drafts did not fit into the
framework of my idea, but in the end, with joint efforts, we reconciled and
"approved" the final sketch.

*** Studie van "Wootz" Steel -2008
Dit "Javari"
of "Bulat"
(ook genoemd Wootz staal)
is gesmolten in januari 2008 tijdens mijn deelname in
International Festival met expositie in
Galerie "Kharvasla" in Tbilisi (Georgie). In Georgie zijn
enkele specialisten
die dit staal kunnen maken voor messen, dolken en zwaardklingen. Georgie heeft eeuwenlange
historie met het maken en bewerken van Bulat. Bulat klingen
waren daar tot medio 19de eeuw geproduceerd.
Georgië was samen met India
beroemd met de productie van
het beste "Bulati" staal in de wereld. In Tbilisi
leefde in de negentiende eeuw de familie Elizarashvili,
waarvan voorouder Giorgi een belangrijk
meester was. Hij
had de kunst geërfd en later aan zijn zonen en
kleinzonen doorgegeven. De productie van het zwaard was
geheim. Maar één van zijn zonen, Kharaman, gaf in 1828
het geheim van de Georgische zwaardstaal productie,
alsook zijn eigen modellen aan Rusland. Generaal
Paskevich stuurde deze modellen naar Tsar Nocholai de
eerste. Snel nadien werden er vanuit de Russische
fabriek van Zlatoust de vooruitstrevende meesters
Ivjakov, Djatlov en de Duitse Meester Vasil Golfers naar
Georgië gezonden. Ze brachten dit kennis
in 1830 bij fabriek in Zlatoust. Maar de mensen die dit vak kenden
zeiden vaak, dat de Russische meesters wel goede
zwaarden in Tbilisi maakten, maar dat niet konden doen
in Rusland, omdat enkel theoretische kennis blijkt niet
genoeg was. In fabriek van Zlatoust is
productie van Bulat staal verder ontwikkeld. Dit Verhaal is in archieven
bewaard gebleven en de werken van Elisaraschvili's zijn
bewaard in Hermitage in St. Petersburg.
Javari, Bulat of wootzstaal (uitgesproken als "woets") is een met speciale regime gesmolten afgietsel. Andere benamingen voor dit staal zijn wutz of wutzstaal, Indisch staal, en gedamasceerd staal, damast of damask staal. Het staal zou reeds rond het jaar 300 na Christus ontwikkeld zijn; sommige bronnen zeggen zelfs 200 vóór Christus. Dankzij de hardheid en scherpte werd het vooral gebruikt voor het maken van sabels en zwaarden. Dit kwam door het ijzercarbide in het het staal, dat bij het afkoelen van het staal in banden uitkristalliseerde, waardoor deze wapens een karakteristieke tekening verkregen. Een ervaren smid kon zo wapens voorzien van typische bladmotieven. (Tubal / First Blacksmiths in Georgia)

Chain mail of the famous Georgian King
Earlier this year, Lagidze received an offer from the Georgian playwright Dato Turashvili to design chain mail for a film about Georgia's famous king Davit Aghmashenebeli. "Probably I will travel to Tbilisi. It is important to do it in Tbilisi," he says. "The chain mail of Davit Aghmashenebeli is not on a fresco. That is why I want to do it not only for the movie, but for a museum." His love for designing old war equipment exists hand in hand with his love of Georgian history. He was particularly interested in Khevsurian armor and often traveled to the region to study this equipment in the years 1985-88. "Everything started from my teacher Juansher Jurkhadze, who taught me history," he says. More

Copy of armour of Prince Maurice of Orange
Gotscha, 1998. Exposed in the Royal Netherlands Army and Arms Museum in Delft. Very gratefully may be mentioned that the Hofjagd- und Rüstkammer des Kunsthistorischen Museums in Vienna (the owner), as a very rare exception, allowed the personal suit of armour of Prince Maurits to be taken apart, in order for Gotscha carefully to measure every single part of it. (Specification
Museum quality armour Armour, helmets, swords etc. made by Gotscha Lagidse have found their way to prominent museums and private collectors in The Netherlands and abroad. Experts consider these objects as a class in their own. Not surprising because Gotscha’s works are based on historical study, a thorough knowledge of materials, unequalled craftsmanship and unconditional dedication. Historically correct metal restorations The same museum quality which is so characteristic for Gotscha’s arms and armour can be recognized in his restorations. With unrivalled precision he restores historic metal objects in their old lustre. It does not matter whether it concerns armour parts, swords, sabres, antique lanterns or a relatively modern object like a rare German ‘Falschirmjägergewehr’ from World War II. About Gotscha Gotscha Lagidse is born in 1965 in Georgia. Already at a very young age he has a strong interest in historic arms and armour. He studies these thoroughly and starts to reconstruct them. Once established in The Netherlands he leaves his marks with the reconstruction of the horseman’s armour of prince Maurits van Oranje-Nassau for the royal army museum in Delft. Various unique creations follow. Every one of these shows a very well developed artistic feeling and a drive for perfecton. Because of his merit with respect to the preservation of the Dutch cultural inheritance he has been awarded the Dutch nationality in 2005.
