EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO HRANT MATEVOSIAN

 

Recently, many exhibitions were held at the galleries of the Vanadzor Fine Art Museum. The museum represented over 10 exhibitions to the art lovers of the city. Seven dozens of pictures by three artists are being exhibited in Vanadzor these days. The art lovers were excited and encouraged, visiting such interesting exhibitions at their city. Khachik Gharabekian, Hrant Tadevosian and Nikol Aghababian, artists represented pictures rich in colors and emotions. They depicted the picturesque views of Vanadzor, the region of Lori. The three artists spend whole August in Ahnidzor and created together in the studio of Khachik Gharabekian. They opened the exhibition of their new works created in Ahnidzor on September 2.

 

"It was really hard to guess that they can open new layers in the nature of Lori for the local residents in their pictures", Serge Baghdasarian, art lover from Vanadzor shared his impressions about the exhibition.

 

The artists were inspired not only by the picturesque views of Ahnidzor, but also by the idea of representing their works at a joint exhibition. They aimed to celebrate 70th anniversary of Hrant Matevosian by holding this exhibition.

 

Khachik Gharabekian said that in the course of the month they worked together they created paintings that had many things in common.

 

"Hrant’s absence in Ahnidzor changes something there. That’s why, we tried to paint from our own viewpoint, including the worldviews of Matevosian’s characters in Ahnidzor," Mr. Gharabekian said.

 

"Everything is different in Ahnidzor. Hrant was different, too. His presence here is different, too. That’s why people pay tribute to his literature here," Hrant Tadevosian explained the success of the exhibition.

 

Nikol Aghababian emphasized the importance of such exhibitions, saying that they help to bring fresh air of the capital’s cultural life to the regions.

 

"We tried to combine our own feelings with the image of Hrant Matevosian’s Ahnidzor. He created his works as a true artist. We were looking for Hrant in today’s Ahnidzor," Nikol Aghababian said.

 

The exhibition will last till September 20.
