About the Item

Signed lower right, 'Arthur S.' and dated 1971; additionally inscribed verso, 'Arthur Sarkissian' and titled 'Tehran'. A panoramic urban landscape showing a winter view of a suburb of the Iranian capital with a man riding a donkey down a snowy street. Born in 1960 in Gyumri, Armenia, Sarkissian attended the School of Fine Arts there in 1977, followed by the Armenian Pedagogical University (Drawing) in 1989. He lives and works in Yerevan, Armenia. Sarkissian embodies the sense of post-soviet freedom of expression in his art by deliberately embracing abstract art as an expression of creative liberation. As he said in 2005, "my approach to painting developed from the desire to free myself from Socialist Realism." His canvas works combine painting and silkscreen printing, incorporating text, photographs, signs, architectural images and extracts from other paintings, fusing oil paints with found ephemera, and could be described as a celebration of freedom of thought, feeling and expression. His sculpture includes the work Closed Session, comprising a row of seven chairs of varying sizes, each standing on four lit lightbulbs; described by Sonia Balassanian, curator of the Armenian Center for Contemporary Experimental Art (ACCEA), as a "satirical reference to self-aggrandizing decision-makers"[ Solo Exhibitions: 2008 Modern Art Museum of Armenia 2006 First Floor Gallery.
