Hrach Vardanyan Studio Tour (Gyumri)

Hrach Vardanyan, 21, son of sculptor Albert Vardanyan, is our youngest artist - but he is already showing as much promise as his talented father! His works, combining superb drawing skills, various graphic and print-making techniques, and painting, reflect complex thoughts about the world around him. His dog series, for example, examines the darker side of the canine: how people, politicians and various power-mongers behave in a dog-eat-dog world. His style is both delicate and fierce. Worth visiting the Vardanyan home, where Hrach has a small studio, to see it in person, including the hundreds of sketches and studies he has produced for each series. Hrach Vardanyan has just returned from the USA where he had his individual exhibitions at Fresno Gallery25, California.
