Recently, the Modern Experimental Art Center hosted an exhibition of Hamlet
Hovsepian's works entitled as `Vera-Dardz' (return). Sixteen paintings and
three video works were presented. When you look at the works you see what he
implied by `return.' It is about a human being born on the earth and returning
back into it.
Hamlet Hovsepian was born in Ashnak village. He is an artist struggling
against the boring life and trying to pass movement to it by capturing art on
video.
The exhibition included his old video works starting from 1975. It is abouta
part of the nature that keeps returning to the point of its birth.
Hovsepian uses a number of innovative means like bronze and copper powder for
creating his panting works.
He also covers the works with a layer of sand which gives a specific flavor
to the whole thing. This is a man that turns into sand but leaves values in
that sand which secure his return into succession.
