SUMMARY:Absence
DESCRIPTION:This World and Life are not one-sided\, not even two-sided\, as in black and white photography. They contain everything possible and impossible. Art and creativity\, in general\, are attempts to reproduce this rational and irrational reality as adequately as possible\, but each time\, it depends on what methods are used in the process of this action. When we think about the absence that is the common basis of our disappointment and unhappiness as human beings\, this is no longer enough to cope with reality because what it is is already overwhelming. \nUsing different methods\, visual artists and composers define and communicate the presence of absence. Through a dialogue with the viewer and listener\, they complete the void of absence so that the expressing and expressed world ceases to be dual; it becomes one and complete. Art then becomes the presence of absence. \nNames: Josh Arias\, Sam Dvin\, Charlie G. Hachadourian (1954 – 2022)\, Irena G. Minasyan\, Panorjit Palatthuam\, Sev\, Tigran Tahmizean\, Armineh Teimourian \nDay/Time: Friday\, December 20\,2024 7PM – 10PM \nDay/Time: Saturday\, December 21\, 2024 2PM – 6PM \nDay/Time: Sunday\, December 22\, 2024 2PM – 6PM

SUMMARY:Diana Markosian's FATHER
DESCRIPTION:Join Aperture and The Center for Armenian Arts for a conversation between photographer Diana Markosian and artist Ara Oshagan. They will discuss Markosian’s most recent publication\, Father (Aperture\, 2024)\, an intimate and engrossing diaristic portrayal of estrangement and reconnection\, recounted through documentary photographs\, family snapshots\, text\, and visual ephemera.  \nDiana Markosian: Father presents the Armenian photographer’s journey to another place and another time\, where she attempts to piece together an image of a familiar stranger—her long-lost father. The book explores her father’s absence\, her reconciliation with him\, and the shared emptiness of their prolonged estrangement after a separation during Markosian’s childhood. The images\, made over the course of a decade\, take place in her father’s home in Armenia. Father follows her first monograph\, Santa Barbara (Aperture\, 2020)\, in which Markosian recreates the story of her family’s journey from post–Soviet Russia to the US in the 1990s.  \n––  \nDiana Markosian (born in Moscow\, 1989) is among the leaders of a new generation of photographers and lens-based artists advancing documentary storytelling through image-making. In 1996\, she moved to the US from Russia with her brother and mother\, leaving behind her father\, who would eventually relocate back to the family’s home country of Armenia. Her photographs have been published in Vanity Fair\, Vogue\, and the New Yorker. Her work is represented by Galerie les filles du calvaire\, Paris. The artist’s acclaimed first monograph\, Santa Barbara (Aperture\, 2020)\, was selected as one of the top books of the year by Time and the Museum of Modern Art Magazine. She holds an MS from Columbia University in New York.  \nAra Oshagan (born in Beirut) is a multidisciplinary artist\, curator\, and cultural worker who explores histories of marginalization\, displacement\, and identity. A descendant of communities uprooted from their indigenous land by the Armenian Genocide\, he was born in Lebanon and displaced by war as a youth to the US. Oshagan has published four monographs and has exhibited his artwork internationally. His work has been featured in the LA Times\, NPR’s Morning Edition\, and Hyperallergic. His work is in the permanent collection of the Craft Contemporary Museum\, Southeast Museum of Photography\, Pasadena Armory Center for the Arts\, and Modern Art Museum of Yerevan. \nTuesday\, February 25 at 7:00 pm PST

SUMMARY:Collections of a Cab Driver - Sarkis Alvandi
DESCRIPTION:This show is about resilience\, hidden talent\, and the power of rediscovery. \nSarkis Alvandi\, spent decades providing for his family\, creating art in the quiet moments between long hours as a cab driver. \nHis work was hidden away—literally in the trunk of his taxi—until it was uncovered years later. \nAt 80 years old\, it’s time for the world to see his masterpieces spanning more than 350 Original works. \nDay/Time: Friday\, March 28\, 2025 from 7:00 PM till 10:00 PM \nDay/Time: Saturday\, March 29\, 2025 from 3:00 PM till 6:00 PM \n\nCollections of a Cab Driver: The Art of Sarkis Alvandi\nFor over 45 years\, Sarkis Alvandi has navigated the streets as a taxi driver\, weaving through the pulse of the city while carrying thousands of passengers from one destination to another. But between the honking horns and fleeting conversations\, Sarkis found something rare—stillness. In those quiet moments of waiting for the next fare\, he turned to pen and paper\, capturing the world through his own lens. \nWhat began as doodles on the back of trip logs evolved into a vast collection of over 200 intricate and deeply personal artworks. Each piece is a snapshot of a moment\, a reflection of a story told in passing\, a vision shaped by decades of encounters\, emotions\, and the unseen beauty of everyday life. \nA Journey Through Ink and Imagination\nCollections of a Cab Driver is more than an art exhibition—it’s a visual diary of a working man’s journey\, an odyssey of lines and patterns that capture the soul of a city in transit. Through Sarkis’ artwork\, viewers are invited into the hidden world of a cab driver\, where every ride is a new experience\, every face a fleeting muse\, and every street a canvas for reflection. \nFrom the Driver’s Seat to the Art World\nSarkis’ pieces are raw yet refined\, inspired by the perspectives only a taxi driver can witness—the solitude of empty roads at dawn\, the electric buzz of city nightlife\, the quiet moments of contemplation in rearview mirrors. His work is a testament to the beauty found in the in-between spaces of life\, a reminder that inspiration often lives in the places we least expect. \nNow\, for the first time\, Collections of a Cab Driver brings together this lifetime of artwork—a collection born on the streets\, shaped by the rhythm of the city\, and shared with the world.

SUMMARY:Fragments of Being
DESCRIPTION:My art is a dialogue with movement\, fluidity\, and the rawness of human vulnerability. Through photography and sculptural forms\, I seek to evoke emotions that resonate beyond the tangible. My work defies the static and the finite\, embracing the unspoken\, the unfinished\, and the imperfect.  \nEach piece carries a sense of continuation—a rhythm that echoes the ceaseless motion of life itself. For me\, art is not about perfection but about stirring something profound within\, reminding us that there is no true end\, only the constant evolution of form\, feeling\, and connection. \nDay/Time: Friday\, April 25\, 2025 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM  \nDay/Time: Saturday\, April 26\, 2025 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM

SUMMARY:"20×20" A Curated Dialogue of 41 Artists
DESCRIPTION:20×20 is a landmark group exhibition (41 artists) conceived by renowned Armenian artist and curator Gago Gagik Vardanyan\, bringing together a powerful cross‑section of contemporary Armenian and Armenian‑diasporan artists under a single\, rigorously defined format. Each participating artist was invited to create one original work not exceeding 20 × 20 inches\, a constraint that becomes the conceptual backbone of the exhibition rather than a limitation. Within this shared scale\, the artists explore vastly different visual languages\, materials\, emotional registers\, and artistic philosophies\, transforming uniformity into a catalyst for depth\, tension\, and dialogue.\n\n \n\nThe strength of 20×20 lies in its paradox: a strict physical boundary that opens limitless creative possibility. Painting\, drawing\, mixed media\, sculpture\, abstraction\, figuration\, symbolism\, and experimental techniques coexist side by side\, allowing viewers to experience how scale influences intention\, intimacy\, and impact. The exhibition invites close looking—rewarding attention to texture\, gesture\, and nuance—while simultaneously presenting a collective portrait of Armenian contemporary art in motion.\n\n \n\nParticipating Artists: Ruben Abovyan\, Martiros Adalyan\, Raffi Adalyan\, Ruben Adalyan\, Grant Avakyan\, Ayvaz Avoyan\, Hakob Baghdasaryan\, Ashot Bayandur\, Assadour Bezdikian\, Norik Dilanchyan\, Henry Elibekyan\, Roman Galstyan\, Vruyr Galstyan\, Kaloust Guedel\, Minas Halajian\, Samuel Halajian\, Sasha Harutyunyan\, Ashot Hovhannisyan\, Hakob Hovhannisyan\, Narine Isajanyan\, Sev Henrik Khachatryan\, Varoush Khosravian(s)\, Farzad Kohan\, Avetis Krikashyan\, Maria Cristina Lattes\, Viken Makhyan\, Anna Manukyan\, Alexandr Maroutian\, Eduard Matevosyan\, Hrant Mirzoyan\, Arshak Nazarian\, Sergey Parajanov\, Martin Petrosyan\, Carlos Ritter\, Alexander Sadoyan\, Vigen Tadevossyan\, Vardan Tovmasyan\, Gago Gagik Vardanyan\, Seeroon Yeretzian\, Ilir Zeneli\, Aramik\, Kiki.\n\n \n\nDate/Time: Friday\, January 23\, 2026 from 7PM to 10PM\n\n \n\nDate/Time: Saturday\, January 24\, 2026 from 3PM to 6PM

SUMMARY:LOVE CONFESSION: A Visual Love Letter by Ella Sarkisyan
DESCRIPTION:LOVE CONFESSION is a poetic and emotionally charged solo exhibition by contemporary artist Ella Sarkisyan\, exploring love as memory\, mystery\, confession\, and transformation. Through layered textures\, symbolic imagery\, and luminous color harmonies\, Sarkisyan invites viewers into an intimate visual dialogue where personal emotion meets universal longing. \nBorn into a family of artists and shaped by formal training at the Studio Art School of Yerevan and Yerevan State University (MFA)\, Ella Sarkisyan has developed a distinctive artistic language rooted in both classical cultural references and experimental contemporary expression. Since relocating to the United States in 1995\, she has exhibited widely across the U.S. and Europe\, earning recognition from collectors\, curators\, and critics for her refined\, mystical\, and emotionally resonant work. \nHer art is known for its elegance\, delicacy\, and symbolic depth—blending fantasy\, literary sensuality\, neoclassical inspiration\, and intuitive abstraction. Each piece carries hidden narratives\, poetic metaphors\, and subtle confessions that unfold through color\, texture\, and form. As Art Director and curator Nicola Eremita describes\, Sarkisyan’s work evokes “an extraordinary harmony of color\, texture\, symbolism\, and mysticism\,” confronting themes of renewal\, creativity\, and the miracle of inner life. \nIn LOVE CONFESSION\, Sarkisyan reflects on identity\, memory\, desire\, and emotional truth\, creating a visual space where Armenian cultural roots converse with contemporary global aesthetics. Her works—featured on international platforms such as Saatchi Art—bridge tradition and innovation\, offering a voice that is both deeply personal and universally moving. \nThis exhibition is an invitation to witness love not only as romance\, but as revelation\, vulnerability\, longing\, and artistic rebirth. \nOpening Night: Friday\, February 6\, 2026 | 7 PM – 10 PM\nExhibition Continues: Saturday\, February 7\, 2026 | 3 PM – 6 PM

SUMMARY:COLORS OF YEREVAN: See Yerevan Through an Karishok’s Heart
DESCRIPTION:COLORS OF YEREVAN is a vibrant and poetic solo exhibition by contemporary Armenian artist Karishok (Karine) Dulyan\, celebrating the emotional rhythm\, architectural spirit\, and everyday poetry of Armenia’s capital. \nBorn and raised in Yerevan\, Dulyan began painting at the age of four and held her first solo exhibition at just five years old. She later pursued a career in architecture and urban design\, earning Master’s degrees in Arts & New Technologiesand Urbanism in Spain\, before returning fully to painting—bringing with her a deep understanding of space\, structure\, light\, and city life. \nHer work is widely recognized for its expressive cityscapes\, abstract urban impressions\, and luminous color palette. Moving fluidly between watercolor\, acrylic\, ink\, mixed media\, and collage\, Dulyan captures the beauty of everyday moments\, the energy of streets\, and the quiet emotional character of cities. Her paintings often reinterpret Yerevan’s architectural “chaos” as unexpected harmony\, revealing charm\, warmth\, and hidden beauty where others may overlook it. \nCOLORS OF YEREVAN presents a visual love letter to the city—its light\, movement\, memory\, and soul. Each artwork invites viewers to pause\, reflect\, and rediscover Yerevan through a lens of color\, optimism\, nostalgia\, and urban poetry. \nOpening Night: Friday\, February 13\, 2026 | 7 PM – 10 PM\nExhibition Continues: Saturday\, February 14\, 2026 | 3 PM – 6 PM

SUMMARY:NOSTALGIA: A Journey Into Memory by Davit Mirzoyan
DESCRIPTION:NOSTALGIA is a reflective and emotionally resonant solo exhibition by acclaimed Armenian artist Davit Mirzoyan\, exploring memory\, time\, identity\, and the quiet poetry of the past through refined painterly expression. \nBorn in 1961 in Yerevan\, Mirzoyan received his BFA in Armenia in 1983 from the Department of Art and Design at the Armenian State Pedagogical University\, where he was trained in the rich traditions of Western European and Russian academic painting. In 1989\, he became one of the youngest members of the prestigious Union of Artists of Armenia and the USSR\, marking him as a significant voice in the contemporary art scene. \nHis international career includes exhibitions across Armenia\, Belgium\, Europe\, and the United States\, and membership in the Royal Art Society St.-Lucas Guild of Belgium (1998). In 2004\, Mirzoyan earned his MFA from Brigham Young University\, further expanding his artistic vision and global presence. \nMirzoyan’s works are distinguished by their emotional depth\, technical mastery\, and contemplative atmosphere. Through nuanced color\, light\, and composition\, he evokes nostalgia not merely as longing for the past\, but as a space of reflection\, meaning\, and quiet beauty. His paintings invite viewers to revisit personal and collective memories—moments suspended between history and feeling. \nHis original works are held in state institutions and private collections in Armenia\, Belgium\, and the United States\, affirming his lasting artistic significance. \nNOSTALGIA is an invitation to slow down\, remember\, and reconnect with the emotional landscapes that shape who we are. \nOpening Night: Friday\, February 20\, 2026 | 7 PM – 10 PM\nExhibition Continues: Saturday\, February 21\, 2026 | 3 PM – 6 PM

SUMMARY:BOUND BY FIRE: Featuring Tro Khayalian & Paola Kassabian
DESCRIPTION:BOUND BY FIRE brings together two artists whose practices are united by heat\, transformation\, and elemental intensity — Tro Khayalian\, an Armenian American abstract painter and metal sculptor\, and Paola Kassabian\, a ceramic artist whose work is shaped through flame\, material\, and process. \nTro Khayalian’s abstract expressionist paintings and metal sculptures channel raw emotion through liquid acrylics\, layered textures\, unconventional tools\, and instinctive color. His work creates immersive visual experiences — energetic\, transportive\, and deeply atmospheric — where movement\, depth\, and subconscious rhythm guide the viewer’s perception. In recent years\, his exploration of metal as a medium has expanded his visual language\, merging industrial strength with expressive abstraction. \nPaola Kassabian’s ceramic practice explores form\, surface\, and transformation through fire. Working with clay as both a sculptural and conceptual medium\, her pieces carry the imprint of heat\, time\, and material evolution — embodying fragility\, resilience\, and tactile beauty. Fire becomes both a tool and a collaborator in shaping her final works. \nTogether\, their works create a compelling dialogue between metal and clay\, fluidity and structure\, intensity and stillness. BOUND BY FIRE explores how heat can destroy\, refine\, and rebirth — revealing the shared alchemy behind two distinct yet interconnected artistic voices. \nOpening Night: Friday\, February 27\, 2026 | 7 PM – 10 PM\nExhibition Continues: Saturday\, February 28\, 2026 | 3 PM – 6 PM

SUMMARY:Mome La La La Land! André Smits ARTISTINTHEWORLD | Watch a Mural Come to Life
DESCRIPTION:Armenian Arts is proud to present ARTISTINTHEWORLD by Dutch photographer and painter André Smits\, a global\, ongoing artistic journey that connects artists and art professionals across continents through photography\, murals\, and living networks of collaboration. \nSince 2008\, Smits has built an ever-expanding archive of more than 7\,000 photographs portraying artists in their studios around the world. A defining element of the series is the romantic Rückenfigur concept: each subject is photographed from behind\, offering viewers an intimate yet contemplative glimpse into creative spaces. \nThis pop-up exhibition marks his fourth visit to Los Angeles and features more than 100 photographs. \nA Living Mural – Watch It Happen \nFrom March 1–5\, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM\, André Smits will be creating a large-scale mural inside Armenian Arts. The mural functions as a living map of artistic connections — a network of names and arrows tracing relationships and introductions between artists. \nThe public is warmly invited to step in throughout the week to witness the mural’s progress in real time. Visitors may observe the process\, engage with the evolving network\, or follow daily updates on our Instagram. \nFor this exhibition\, Smits collaborates with Monika Dahlberg\, who will respond within the mural through colorful collages inspired by the city. \nSmits’ exhibitions function as social sculptures — spaces where connection itself becomes the artwork. \nExhibition Schedule \nFriday\, March 6\, 2026\n7:00–10:00 PM — Opening Reception  \nSaturday\, March 7\, 2026\n3:00–6:00 PM — Exhibition Open\n4:00 PM — Artist Talk  \nAfter the artist talk\, photographed artists are invited to take their portrait from the wall as a gift — a gesture reflecting the spirit of openness and shared artistic practice. \nJoin us for a week of process\, connection\, and celebration of the global artistic community.

SUMMARY:Hoarse Fanfares: Triumph
DESCRIPTION:Armenian Arts presents Hoarse Fanfares: Triumph\, an exhibition exploring the mystical dimension of the graphic practice of Stratumism by Armen Ronov. \nIn spiritual tradition\, fanfares announce awakening.\nYet when they sound hoarse\, awakening has passed through purification — through fire. This exhibition reflects the triumph of a spirit that has undergone initiation. \nArtistic Manifesto  \nLayering. Incisions. Texture. \n• Fanfare — the line as proclamation\, the gesture as signal.\n• Hoarseness — the tactile abrasion of graphic matter.\n• Triumph — the achieved compositional equilibrium. \nThis is the triumph of material left unpolished. \nHoarse Fanfares: Triumph is a victory without varnish.\nIt is the sound of art that has endured the friction of time. \nHere\, triumph does not shout. It bears witness — in a raspy register — affirming both fact and communion with time itself. \nWe invite you to experience this contemplative and textural body of work across two evenings at Armenian Arts. \nExhibition Dates:\nFriday\, March 13\, 2026 | 7:00–10:00 PM\nSaturday\, March 14\,2026 | 3:00–6:00 PM
