 The Armenian Center for Contemporary Experimental Art in Yerevan (NPAK/ACCEA) will be hosting an exhibit by Armenian-American artist Adrineh Gregorian from March 26 to April 1 called “Unbreakable Ties that Bind.”
According to the Facebook event page created by the artist, “Adrineh’s series ‘Unbreakable Ties that Bind: Art Transcending Three Generations in One Family’ represents one subject matter, her family, as seen through the eyes of two different generations that are bound by bloodline and art. “The series is comprised of a collection of acrylic on canvas contemporary paintings reflecting [her grandfather] Grigor’s photo-portraits and a collection of photographs of Adrineh’s family today taken with Grigor’s original Zeiss Ikon camera. “Grigor was an artist out of necessity. Art was a gift offered to him as a means of survival; whereas for Adrineh, art is a means of expression and a creative outlet. “In this series, Adrineh attempts to use their commonality, art, to unite a family whose members have had contrasting destinies and to make a connection with the grandfather she’s never met. “Creating and exhibiting this series throughout Armenia allows the story of Grigor and Adrineh’s ancestral line to come full circle.” The exhibit opens at 6 pm on Friday, March 26.
