Over the course of history, especially after the 1915 genocide resulting in rapid dispersal of Armenians around the world, Armenian artists have time and again succeeded in remaining influential in progressive arts and sciences no matter where they established new life. ace/121 Gallery is proud to present three Armenian American artists who are at the forefront of a contemporary approach, each working in a distinctive genre: Visual Storyteller and Graphic Novelist Ian Dorian, Production Architect and Designer Sevak Petrosian, and Visual Artist and Designer Alexandre Marutyan. Additionally, cellist Artyom Manukyan will perform a solo set at the opening on April 14th. Individually these artists are creating an important integration of past experiences with a present image of reality to serve our future. This ideology is applied both in the visual depiction of their imagery as well as the use of traditional materials and advanced media of the present day.
Please join us at the reception on April 14, 2019, from 7 – 10 PM!
