Doug Argue: Chicken Paintings exhibition opens at Eagle Gallery of
the Cafesjian Center for the Arts on October 12, . The exhibition
presents four monumental works by the renowned contemporary American
artist Doug Argue, including his famous Untitled chicken painting.
Doug Argue explores "infinity in finite space" creating grandiose scale
works, where ordinary objects are monumentalized and reconceptualized
within the vortex of contemporary society.
"Before arriving in Armenia the Chicken Painting was a major public
attraction at the Weisman Art Museum, after Gerard Cafesjian lent the
work to the University of Minnesota in 1995. We are convinced that Doug
Argue and his paintings will become a new revelation of American art
in our society", said Vahagn Marabyan, the Acting Executive Director
of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts.
Doug Argue was born in 1962 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. His works
are included in numerous public collections, including the Walker
Art Center, the Minnesota Museum of American Art, the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts, and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation. In
2009, he was awarded with the Artist of the Year by the London Creative
Competition. Argue has been the recipient of a National Endowment for
the Arts Fellowship, the Prix De Rome, a Bush Foundation Fellowship,
and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. Doug Argue currently resides
in New York City.
The exhibition Doug Argue: Chicken Paintings will be free of charge
on October 13 and will last till December 29, 2013.
