From February 1 to February 29, 2020, a personal exhibition of the father and son Grigoryanov “Dialogue with the Father” will be held. The exhibition will be the development of a joint creative tandem of artists, through which love, care and deep respect for their origins, spiritual heritage and involvement in the cultural heritage of Russia and Armenia pass through with a fine thread.
For the first time, the unique heritage of the elder Grigoryan and the bright colors of the modern generation in the works of his son will be presented in maximum completeness. The exhibition presents more than 150 works, which will allow the viewer to fully appreciate the work of both painters.
Different in content and storylines, both artists subtly feel anguish
and emotionality, restraint and wisdom of generations. The art of the painters is a kind of illustration, dialogue and interpretation of love for the land of their ancestors - Nagorno-Karabakh. Symbols and images in the father’s paintings transfer the visitor to the exhibition in the adolescence of Yuri Surenovich Grigoryan. Traditional clothes, mountain villages, mountain silhouettes - all this is a reflection of memories and nostalgia for places of childhood and youth. The main features of his creative style are bright coloristic saturation, harmoniously built composition, original technique with which he immerses the viewer in his inner world.
The painting of Yuri Yuryevich Grigoryan is characteristic and easily recognizable by connoisseurs of contemporary art. Yuri Grigoryan Jr. - master of composition and lighting solutions. His painting, inspired by the theme of the origins, is distinguished by internal reflection. The depiction of feelings through images of objects, the severity of emotions conveyed using light contrasts, the disclosure of deep images in a series of paintings are characteristic features of the work of Yuri the Younger. This is the journey that the artist offers to go along with him.
The personal exhibition “Dialogue with Father” is presented by the THANK Gallery of Modern Art. The grand opening will take place on February 1 in the space "ART Box" of the shopping center "Riviera" st. Avtozavodskaya, d.18, metro station "Avtozavodskaya". Collection of guests at 17:00
