Born in 1964, Armenian Artist, Boghos Taslakian Aghassi, began
painting and sculpting at a ver y young age. He enrolled at the Art
College of Armenia in 1981 and later continued his education at the
Academia di Belle Arti di Venezia in Venice.
Currently based in
Lebanon, Boghos Aghassi participated in several international
exhibitions. His work can be described as gloomy and exhilarating, as
well as proud and seductive.
Aghassi’s moody palette combined with the harmony of light and shadow
takes the viewer to a high level of self contemplation. His works are
majorly inspired by his surroundings in Venice at the time of his studies.
This is evident in his characters, as well as his charming take on Post
Modernism. His proclivity for his blurr y and sometimes absent faces in
his paintings allows the viewer to easily identify with his characters. In
doing so, Aghassi’s art communicates with all social classes.
My paintings and sculptures are
concentrated displays of experiences
and emotions. Ar t is what is beautiful
and real. My ar t is my statement.
Aghassi’s past exhibitions include “Mostra di Artigianato Artistico del
Littorale”, Cavalino-Venezia, “Mourad Raphaelian” college of the
Mekhitarian congregation in Venice, “Artuel” in 2000 and 2001 in
Lebanon & Beirut respectively, “Euroart 2001” in Spain, “Europ'Art
2002” in Geneva, “Noah's Ark art galler y” in Beirut, “Art Expo” in New
York in 2003, 2007, 2008 and 2009, “Naregatsi Art Institute” in
Yerevan in 2006, “Galler y Savarese” in San Diego in 2007, “Bohemia
Galleries” in York-England in 2007, “Rebecca Molayem Galler y”
Beverley Hills CA in 2009 and many more.
