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

SUMMARY:Unspoken Tales by Sergey Bagramyan
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Armenian Arts is pleased to present Unspoken Tales\, a new exhibition by Sergey Bagramyan\, whose works unfold at the delicate border between dream\, memory\, and myth. \nIn these paintings\, light becomes a quiet narrator\, color turns into breath\, and forms dissolve into symbols of stories that seem to exist just beyond language. Each canvas opens like a silent stage where time slows down\, allowing tenderness\, anxiety\, and hope to emerge through carefully constructed visual worlds. \nChildhood visions intertwine with mythic imagination\, solitude resonates like distant music\, and silence gathers its own emotional presence. Bagramyan creates autonomous worlds filled with subtle symbolism and inner voices — fragile spaces where imagination and memory remain suspended between reality and dream. \nEach work invites viewers into an inward passage\, encouraging slower looking\, deeper feeling\, and quiet reflection on what often remains unspoken. \nBorn in Yerevan\, Sergey Bagramyan is an internationally exhibited painter and graphic artist whose work has been shown across Europe\, Russia\, and the United States. His visual language combines classical draftsmanship with contemporary painterly expression\, often creating cinematic atmospheres where light itself carries narrative force. \nWe warmly invite you to experience this contemplative exhibition and enter the poetic visual world of Unspoken Tales. \nOpening night: Friday\, May 1\, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM \nExhibition continues: Saturday\, May 2\, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM

SUMMARY:Soul Search: Exhibition by Samuel Halajian
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Armenian Arts is pleased to present Soul Search\, an exhibition by Samuel Halajian\, also known as HALLAJ. \nThis exhibition invites viewers into an introspective visual journey where figures\, symbols\, and layered compositions become reflections of inner dialogue and emotional inquiry. Through expressive forms and an instinctive use of color\, Samuel Halajian creates works that feel both deeply personal and open to interpretation. \nThe title Soul Search suggests a process of questioning\, reflection\, and discovery — an exploration of identity\, perception\, and the human condition through visual language. Each work carries a sense of movement between inner thought and external form\, where fragments of memory\, imagination\, and emotion come together on the canvas. \nThe exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to engage with contemporary works that balance spontaneity and structure\, inviting quiet observation as well as personal interpretation. \nWe warmly invite you to join us for two days of art\, reflection\, and conversation. \nOpening night: Friday\, April 3\, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM \nExhibition continues: Saturday\, April 4\, 2026 | 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM

SUMMARY:Shadows of the Forgotten Past by Rafi Babayan and Vachag Ter Sarkissian
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Armenian Arts is pleased to present Shadows of the Forgotten Past\, a collaborative exhibition by Rafi Babayan and Vachag Ter Sarkissian. \nBringing together painting and sculptural forms\, the exhibition explores memory\, historical traces\, and the fragile presence of what remains across time. Through symbolic imagery\, textured surfaces\, and expressive compositions\, the works evoke fragments of forgotten narratives that continue to resonate in the present. \nThe exhibition’s title suggests an encounter with what history leaves behind — images\, forms\, and impressions that survive in altered shapes yet continue to carry emotional and cultural weight. The sculptural works appear almost archaeological in spirit\, while the paintings preserve figures\, symbols\, and visual echoes that suggest inherited memory and layered identity. \nShadows of the Forgotten Past invites viewers into a space where personal memory and collective history intersect\, allowing each work to function as both reflection and rediscovery. \nWe warmly invite you to join us for two days of art\, contemplation\, and dialogue. \nOpening night: Friday\, April 10\, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM \nExhibition continues: Saturday\, April 11\, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM

SUMMARY:Portraits of Nations by Seta Injeyan
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Armenian Arts is pleased to present Portraits of Nations\, an exhibition by Seta Injeyan\, exploring identity\, emotion\, and collective presence through abstract visual language. \nIn this body of work\, color and movement become carriers of atmosphere and symbolic meaning. Through layered compositions\, circular forms\, and dynamic fields of color\, the artist creates visual impressions that suggest the spirit\, energy\, and emotional resonance of nations beyond literal representation. \nRather than depicting geography or political form\, Portraits of Nations approaches identity through mood\, rhythm\, and abstraction — inviting viewers to experience how color\, space\, and gesture can evoke memory\, belonging\, and cultural presence. \nEach work offers a contemplative encounter where abstract form becomes a portrait not of faces\, but of emotional and collective character. \nThe exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how nations may be sensed\, remembered\, and imagined through visual feeling. \nWe warmly invite you to join us for three days of art\, reflection\, and conversation. \nOpening night: Friday\, May 8\, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM \nExhibition continues: Saturday\, May 9\, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM \nExhibition continues: Sunday\, May 10\, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM

SUMMARY:Roots and Reflections by Jack Latirofian
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Armenian Arts is pleased to present Roots and Reflections\, an exhibition by Jack Latirofian\, exploring identity\, memory\, and contemporary portraiture through expressive color and visual immediacy. \nIn this exhibition\, portrait becomes more than likeness — it becomes a space where inner presence\, personal history\, and cultural resonance meet. Through bold color relationships\, fluid line work\, and layered visual energy\, the artist creates images that suggest both individuality and deeper reflection. \nThe title Roots and Reflections evokes a dialogue between origin and self-awareness\, between inherited memory and present identity. Each work carries a sense of movement between what shapes us and how we come to see ourselves within that inheritance. \nThe exhibition invites viewers to engage with portraiture as both image and emotional field\, where color and gesture reveal dimensions beyond the visible surface. \nWe warmly invite you to join us for two evenings of art\, reflection\, and conversation. \nOpening night: Friday\, June 5\, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM \nExhibition continues: Saturday\, June 6\, 2026 | 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
