Portraits

“Rare is to see the work of a self-taught painter that engages directly with abstraction without having first tried his hand at a more primary form or deconstructed the painting environment from anthropomorphic shapes and figurative work.
Aram Jughian is one of those artists that through experimentation arrived at a single form that yet is composed of many different units of meaning. Painting almost intuitively, the color fields overlap with distant objects, texts and other more conceptual devices. The different layers,
sometimes either thickened or diluted through dripping and found material reach solidity and make manifest the visual maturity of an artist for whom painting is an absolute task.”
