Alianation Print

Karén Khachaturov is an accomplished Armenian artist, embarked on his creative journey as a documentary photographer. Evolving gradually, he ventured into Staged and fiction photography, significantly influencing his artistic perspective. His artistry often employs commercial colors and pop surrealistic elements to initiate dialogues about the new reality—the digital era. Within his pastel-hued universe, objects appear unchanged yet have shed their fundamental essence. His works delve into the contemporary theme of alienation and the diminishing nature of empirical experience. Many of his pieces feature characters that blur the line between people and objects, portraying a sense of detachment and ennui resulting from estranged communications and the proliferation of individualism. This societal shift has seemingly transformed them into visually striking objects with vibrant, entertaining colors but lacking genuine characteristics or emotions. Karén’s art has graced numerous galleries worldwide, and his photography has been showcased in a variety of esteemed newspapers, magazines, and self-published books, including “Pastel Poetry” in 2019 and “Dystopia” in 2021,”Peace and disturbancy in 2023 and “Viva la Cuba in 2024 and he is currently working on his 5th book “Retrospective Voyage” . His body of work encapsulates a profound exploration of the human condition within the contemporary, digitally- influenced landscape.
