Vahagn Ghukasyan's exhibit titled "Children of the Variegated Colors"
will open at Armenian Center for Contemporary Experimental Art on March
22 to offer the audience a renewed opportunity to treat painting as
an autonomous art and re-experience the history of painting through
the artistic biography of an artist.
The project of "Children of the Variegated Colors" is composed of
two series of paintings: the "Reign of Flowers" and "The Studio
of Colors". "The Reign of Flowers" is composed of eight paintings,
five of which depict flowers on the overall surface of the canvas. The
remaining three are portraits where flowers continue playing prominent
semantic and visual role. The paintings which depict only flowers take
us to the world of classics of Armenian modern painting, from Martiros
Saryan's flowery paintings to Vigen Tadevosyan's abstract compositions.
The series of paintings called "Studio of Colors" is composed of
fifteen paintings which demonstrate the tools of traditional methods
of painting: easel, canvas, palette, brushes, paints, etc, from various
views. A studio which looks at itself. Painting materials on the floor
look at the canvases placed on easels and hanging on the walls, and
vice-versa, canvases placed on easels and hanging on the wall look
at the paints and brushes on the floor and chairs. All of these are
depicted in contrasts and rhythms, amid light and colors.
"The Children of Variegated Colors" is an artistic monologue recited
in the indifferent clamor of the present and the watchful silence of
the future.
