The Center for Armenian Arts presents French-Armenian Painters, a special exhibition dedicated to two major figures of twentieth-century art: Carzou (1907–2000) and Jean Jansem (1920–2013).

Presented by Apple Art, the exhibition brings together works by two artists whose visual languages became deeply influential within both Armenian and European art history. Though distinct in style, both painters developed highly recognizable artistic worlds shaped by memory, human presence, poetic tension, and refined emotional atmosphere.

Carzou’s work is known for its intricate linear structures, symbolic spaces, and visionary compositions, while Jansem’s paintings reveal delicate psychological depth, expressive portraiture, and a quiet intensity that became central to his artistic identity.

This exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to encounter two important artistic legacies side by side and explore how Armenian cultural sensibility found powerful expression within the French artistic landscape.

The Center for Armenian Arts is pleased to present Roots and Reflections, an exhibition by Jack Latirofian, exploring identity, memory, and contemporary portraiture through expressive color and visual immediacy.

In this exhibition, portrait becomes more than likeness — it becomes a space where inner presence, personal history, and cultural resonance meet. Through bold color relationships, fluid line work, and layered visual energy, the artist creates images that suggest both individuality and deeper reflection.

The title Roots and Reflections evokes a dialogue between origin and self-awareness, between inherited memory and present identity. Each work carries a sense of movement between what shapes us and how we come to see ourselves within that inheritance.

The exhibition invites viewers to engage with portraiture as both image and emotional field, where color and gesture reveal dimensions beyond the visible surface.

We warmly invite you to join us for two evenings of art, reflection, and conversation.

Opening night: Friday, June 5, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Exhibition continues: Saturday, June 6, 2026 | 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM

The Center for Armenian Arts is pleased to present Portraits of Nations, an exhibition by Seta Injeyan, exploring identity, emotion, and collective presence through abstract visual language.

In this body of work, color and movement become carriers of atmosphere and symbolic meaning. Through layered compositions, circular forms, and dynamic fields of color, the artist creates visual impressions that suggest the spirit, energy, and emotional resonance of nations beyond literal representation.

Rather than depicting geography or political form, Portraits of Nations approaches identity through mood, rhythm, and abstraction — inviting viewers to experience how color, space, and gesture can evoke memory, belonging, and cultural presence.

Each work offers a contemplative encounter where abstract form becomes a portrait not of faces, but of emotional and collective character.

The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how nations may be sensed, remembered, and imagined through visual feeling.

We warmly invite you to join us for three days of art, reflection, and conversation.

Opening night: Friday, May 8, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

The Center for Armenian Arts is pleased to present Unspoken Tales, a new exhibition by Sergey Bagramyan, whose works unfold at the delicate border between dream, memory, and myth.

In these paintings, light becomes a quiet narrator, color turns into breath, and forms dissolve into symbols of stories that seem to exist just beyond language. Each canvas opens like a silent stage where time slows down, allowing tenderness, anxiety, and hope to emerge through carefully constructed visual worlds.

Childhood visions intertwine with mythic imagination, solitude resonates like distant music, and silence gathers its own emotional presence. Bagramyan creates autonomous worlds filled with subtle symbolism and inner voices — fragile spaces where imagination and memory remain suspended between reality and dream.

Each work invites viewers into an inward passage, encouraging slower looking, deeper feeling, and quiet reflection on what often remains unspoken.

Born in Yerevan, Sergey Bagramyan is an internationally exhibited painter and graphic artist whose work has been shown across Europe, Russia, and the United States. His visual language combines classical draftsmanship with contemporary painterly expression, often creating cinematic atmospheres where light itself carries narrative force.

We warmly invite you to experience this contemplative exhibition and enter the poetic visual world of Unspoken Tales.

Opening night: Friday, May 1, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
