Gevork Chubaryan

Gevork Chubaryan, American artist of Armenian origin, born in Russia in 1985, currently resides in Chicago, New York he graduated from the School of Visual Arts in 2007. He comes from a family with a great artistic tradition , his grandfather - Gukas Chubaryan, recognized as a true patriarch of modern Armenian sculpture. In 2006, 2008 and 2009, he organized solo exhibitions in Wisconsin, New York and Texas.

Gevork's initial paintings were small in size and akin to a confidential exchange. For friends who visited his studio in Manhattan, Gevork Chubaryan would have shown some of his works, tenderly and silently, without commenting on them. If he had been asked, he would have said: "… they speak for themselves. They encompass my memory and my feelings, my desire for balance".

The artistic inhibition disappeared after Gevork Chubaryan accompanied by Jean Naturel during a visit to Christo, the great artist who delighted the world with his immense projects Running Fence and Surrounding Islands in America, the Point Neuf project in Paris or the project in which he enveloped the Reichstag in Berlin as in an enchanting cloak. Christo's preparatory drawings for these and other projects are of considerable size and fascinated Gework. After this visit, Chubaryan dared to branch out into larger formats, which led him to create some of his best works.

Thinking about these circumstances and the decisive value of contacts with the world, with artists from all over the world and with their art, Gevork Chubaryan then presented his works in several exhibitions in America and Europe.
