On June 23, Odessa will host an art exhibition to commemorate 50th anniversary of a painter Vahan Ananyan. "Your picture is a feast" exhibition will feature works representing different periods of painter's creative work.
"Vahan Ananyan's works are beyond the tendency of time. He can be rightfully characterized as a trend-setter," Analitika.at.ua cited culturologist Liana Krishevskaya as saying.
Vahan Ananyan was born on June 22, 1959 in Yerevan, Armenia. From his early childhood, he was interested in painting, preferring it to any other pastime. He received his professional training in drawing, composition and colors from the studio of the famous Armenian sculptor Sergey Stepanyan (from 1972 until 1976). In 1977, in Yerevan, Vahan held his first personal exhibition. It was followed by two other exhibitions in 1978 and 1979, revealing the artist as a great master.
For several years, between 1980 and 1987, Vahan participated in numerous art shows in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Odessa, mastering his techniques and skills. As the result of this creative work, Vahan held three more personal exhibits in 1987, 1991, and 1993. The exhibits proclaimed Vahan as master with the individual, one of a kind artistic style.
Vahan has always been fond of Odessa - the city that gave the world numerous renowned and talented artists, and acclaimed the rich artistic legacy. In 1996, Odessa hosted Vahan's first personal art exhibit. It followed by exhibits in 1998, 1999 and 2000. The last exhibit became a part of "The Golden Almanac of Odessa" depicting the best representatives of South Palmyra.
