About myself and my artworks

Roman Aghasyan is a real reformer of the still life genre, he radically changed its status in the genre palette of modern painting and renewed the place of the analytical approach of figurative composition as a part of modern art. His still lifes are strong, approved on a holistic mimetic concept of painting, based on a balanced and projection-based compositional system, juicy in color and stylistically recognizable. The object in the plane of the canvas acquires not only its reproductive character, but becomes a demonstrative element of the language of painting itself. The artist's attentive attitude to the texture, material, and internal logic of the structure of the painting composition gives the works completeness, integrity, and symbolic sound. Playing with the inner geometry of the canvas, nuanced color combinations, successful juxtaposition of planes and volumes form a whimsical mosaic of the genre, bringing the composition into the realm of polysemantic interpretation of the objective world, giving the figurative composition the weight it receives not only in a reproductive manner.

BIOGRAPHY

Artist's Information

Still life is Agasyan's favorite genre in recent years. In it, the artist demonstrates himself as an extraordinary interpreter of "dead nature", which in his performance acquires a vivid fullness of life and emotionality. Skillfully mastering the techniques of pasty painting, Aghasyan gives sonic juiciness to colors, reveals the fullness of forms, sensual texture of his favorite "characters": pomegranates, grapes, apples, ceramic, glass, metal utensils.

The transfer of mood is a leading task and its landscape compositions, in which the impressionistic lightness, mobility of the painting system does not violate the internal architecture of forms.

Interestingly, Roman Aghasyan does not focus on the reflection of modern or neo-modern - in his compositions finds its imprint and Cezanne, and Fauvist plastic play, and constructivist projection, and postmodern citation, and free stylization.

Meanwhile, it is here, in our own painting system, represented by the submitted works, that we see the prospects for the development of the genre of still life, landscape, portrait, their inter-genre connections, and painting itself, behind which there is an organic sense of color, composition and drawing. according to which - the original creative method.
