NEW YORK, NY, October 24, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Agora Gallery is proud to present Hagop Hagopian in a Collective Exhibition: The Portal to Dream.
About Hagop Hagopian:
Hagop Hagopian's delicate oil paintings on canvas are a delicious respite from an often-garish contemporary art scene. Infused with understated drama and elements of surrealism, Hagopian sensitively depicts textures of fabric, glass, and wood in still life, while a penchant for allegory finds its full expression in his intriguing outdoor scenes. Hagopian's sprawling landscapes, executed in muted hues of warm grey, burnt sienna, and ochre, become the stage on which his imaginative, cryptic dramas unfold. Hagopian displays his precision brushwork through intricate rendering of line, as crisp branches of trees unfurl against the pale yellows of a parched, grassy hillside. Hagopian has previously worked in design and attended classes at Cairo Academy of Arts prior to being awarded an art scholarship in Paris.
Born in Egypt of Armenian descent, Hagopian has a long history of exhibitions, both local and abroad. His work has graced gallery walls from Armenia to Los Angeles, Paris and Moscow, achieving an abundance of critical praise along the way. Hagop Hagopian lives and works in Armenia.
