“My work is a response to the atmospheric, sublime qualities and
spiritual essence that exists in landscapes. Using memory sketches
and photographs, I paint on canvas, wood, and paper to explore
scale, brushwork, and my emotional response to these images. I see
timelessness in the work. A sense of tranquilly and serenity in this digital
era.”
Ahzad Bogosian is currently exhibiting his larger works at 21c Hotel St. Louis through December.
He is represented by Duane Reed Gallery, St.Louis
