Vartan Markaryan. City Identification

Exhibition October 23 − November 9, 2018
In the gallery “ABC-art” the personal exhibition of Vartan Markaryan is presented. "Identification of the city". For several years now, the artist has been working on the theme of the urban, industrial landscape, exploring the dialogue between man and the city in painting. Experimenting with the picturesque techniques and textures, the artist depicts the night illumination, foggy, smoky air, which emphasizes the horizontal and vertical industrial environment. On the canvases of new buildings, factory chimneys are smoking, power lines are buzzing, overpasses and tower cranes are lined up - and here there is a lyric poetry.

Vartan Markaryan was born and lives in Poltava. He graduated from the Poltava National Technical University named after Yuri Kondratyuk, Department of Fine Arts. Member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine since 2015. Fellow of the President of Ukraine - 2016, 2017, wood carving (National Union of Folk Art Masters of Ukraine).
