Gegam Kacherian

Born in Yerevan Armania


My blend of abstract and representational images can be seen as a metaphor for the relationship between the spiritual and physical worlds. My painting process begins with a meditation on color and the creation of a groundless background that suggests an empty universe. From there, familiar shapes emergea bird, a houseand enter into shifting, dreamlike relationships with each other and with the viewer, revealing the known world in the context of the greater, always mysterious, unknown. Inheriting from the surrealist tradition, the paintings position themselves in the contemporary search for new modes of expression after 20th century abstraction.
