Artist Ashot Harutyunyan
LOS ANGELES-Mark your calendars! Stephanie's Gallery is pleased to
present the artwork of Armenian artist Ashot Harutyunyan in a benefit
exhibition in cooperation with the Ani & Narod Memorial Fund (ANMF).
Ashot's oil painting collection entitled "ARENI" will be displayed
for the first time in the US from December 12 to December 14th, 2013
with an opening reception on Thursday, December 12th, from 6:00 -
8:30 PM at Stephanie's Art Gallery located at 466 Foothill Blvd.,
La Canada, CA 91011.
The opening reception will also feature curatorial comments to
the public by the exhibit curator, and Sotheby's Institute of Art
graduate, Ms Tamar Sinanian Naaman known for her passion towards
emerging Armenian artists. Ms. Sinanian Naaman, commented on the
artist's work by saying that "Ashot's paintings are a breath of fresh
air reflecting the simple emotions of life. Their purity and soothing
colors bring brightness and sincerity to the human heart".
The exhibit will showcase about 20 recent paintings of the featured
artist. The paintings, mostly large oil on canvas original pieces
reflect the artist's sensory response towards his birthplace, the
village of Odzun. The ARENI exhibition catalogue designed by artist
Harry Vorperian will be available in a limited edition to patrons of
the exhibit. It will feature the collection's vibrant pictures by art
photographer Sossi Madzounian and comments by various critics. In it,
Art critic Ara Haytayan states that Harutyunyan "manages to dispatch
the multiform signs of life and make them resound on the surface of
the canvas in such a way that the final outcome in art clearly speaks
out from the original vision created by the artist", and praises
"the pure, spectral color scale and the light wandering over the
surface of the canvas".
The artwork, on display at the Gallery through Saturday December
14th is being sold, with proceeds going to local and international
organizations assisting Syrian Armenian refugees. In addition
to leaving their homes and societies behind, Syrian refugees face
enormous difficulties once they find refuge in host countries. "In
this first of its kind event for this cause, the exhibit celebrates
the work of a talented artist, but it is also about having a purpose
and hopefully spreading the word that more money is needed for the
agencies who are struggling to help Syrian refugees," said Raffy
Ardhaldjian, Chief Volunteer Officer of ANMF.
The Ani & Narod Memorial Fund was established in 1994 and is a
501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt US organization encouraging the
welfare and development of Armenian women and children through
innovative cultural, educational, health and social programs. Its
mission has been aiding and improving social needs in Armenia, and
Armenian communities around the world.
Stephanie's Art Gallery was established in the year 2000 and features
artwork from European and American classic artists.
