The city falls asleep Painting

Vartan Markarian (1991) is an interdisciplinary artist from Poltava, Ukraine, whose practiceis based on work with painting, graphics, installation, video, VR. Explores man in the urban industrial environment. He is currently interested in statements about posthumanism, paying special attention to the problems of war, emigration, ecology and the synergy of all these concepts in the context of modern positions. "I believe that these topics have a dynamic nature of interaction and a certain specificity of consequences. One event gives rise to another. The chain of needs for resources, territories, dictates an aggressive policy, which in turn is sprayed with a poisonous mixture of total war." Vartan often works with different media, believes that each topic has a characteristic material and only it can fully convey the essence, form, emphasize the idea, focus on yourself, from it depends on how accurately the information will be read by the viewer. "The ability to combine different tools opens up many possibilities: to fantasize, to reflect through artistic language, to see what is happening around us now, to look into the future, to create a new reality."
