Artist Mher Khachatryan displays work
Fort Lee, April - May - Artist Mher Khachatryan will be exhibiting his
works at Fort Lee Public Library's gallery. On Thursday, April 24, the
Day of Commemoration of Armenian Genocide, at 7:30 p.m. the public is
invited to meet the artist and learn more about the Armenian Genocide
and its impact on history. Refreshments will be served. Khachatryan
was born in Armenia in 1983. He first became interested in art when he
was 5 years old. Upon discovering his uncle's paintings, Khachatryan
taught himself to draw and shortly after he began to paint. After
middle school in 1994, he attended the Art school of Hakob Kojoyan, an
atelier art school where the artists study all aspects of art
including anatomy, sculpture, watercolor, figure painting, drawing and
still life.
>From 1998 to 2000 Khachatryan had been studying at the art college of
Panos Terlemezyan, and in 2000 he went to the Academy Of Fine Arts,
where the goal had been, and continues to be, "to assure that future
generations of artists receive the wisdom of the past while acquiring
the creative freedom that only the mastery of traditional skills can
provide." In 2003, he moved to the U.S. to a bigger world of
opportunities, where he still lives and creates. Part of his
exhibitions is dedicated to the Armenian Genocide. For more
information, visit mherkhachatryan.com or armenian-genocide.org. The
Gallery is open during library hours.
