YEREVAN, MAY 15, NOYAN TAPAN. Painter Edvard Sasun's (Avagian) works of
different years are presented in the Edvard Sasun painting catalogue,
the presentation of which took place on May 14 at the Tesaket club.
Edvard Sasun (Avagian) who was born in the family of intellectuals
which had migrated from Sasun started to paint from his
childhood. Leaving Yerevan's physical-mathematical school under State
University, he continued his studies at Saint Petersburg's Ilya Repin
Academy of Art.
In the words of ethnographer Hripsime Pikichian, painter's being
engaged in exact sciences was expressed in composition structures
created by him and in sincere solutions. In the speaker's words,
esthetical perception and use of technical skills characteristic of
academic realistic schools are evident in the works of the 1989-90-s
of the painter loyal to classical traditions of painting.
In 1997-2005 Edvard Sasun permanently lived and created in Bangkok
(Thailand). In this period the author created a series of landscapes
and still lives filled with oriental warmth, portraits painted
skilfully. As H. Pikichian characterized, E. Sasun's creating activity
unites the East with the West, "the classical tradition with its
modern transformations."
Speaking about painting, E. Sasun said that painting is his way of
life and life. "I failed to be engaged in any other business. Painting
is my bread and water." In his words, today painting develops in a
wrong way in Armenia.
"Market relations have burst into the sphere of art, too, and damage
sound thought and taste."
