Currently Exhibiting at James Yarosh Associates Fine Art Gallery:
Vachagan Narazyan (1957- )

Artist Vachagan Narazyan, currently residing in the Ukraine, continues to create works depicting his own interpretations of both old world history and futuristic visions, following an artistic path that offered a welcomed escape from the realities of life in Communist Russia while delivering a message laced with memories. With themes drawn from childhood recollections of acrobats at the Russian Circus and inspirational depictions of his own children, Narazyan presents series of paintings, such as Absurd Travel, that feature horizontal depictions of physical journeys accompanied by vertical depictions of spiritual travel as the artist explores a greater awareness. Professor Norton Dodge, owner of the world’s largest collection of nonconformist Soviet art noted, “Each of Narazyan’s paintings is a small gem with a larger than life presence. They are in the style of fantastic realism or neo-surrealism and combine the real with the surreal in some earlier, undefined historic period. Narazyan employs a delicate, sensitive painting technique as well as a marvelous palette of rich but subdued colors. The figurative elements in his work can be explicit and recognizable as well as vague and quite unusual. All this gives his work a quality of mystery which, like the Mona Lisa’s smile, captures the viewer’s attention and imagination.” A number of Narazyan’s early works are a valued part of the permanent collection of the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University.
