Our times change like the wind. They become modern and flexible…
When we look for prerequisites to express actively the modeled mind of a person, we appear in blind alleys where we mostly need cosmic guides. We can meet those guides in the creative laboratory of Tigran Petrosian and we can also come into contact with them. Tigran testifies some lifes of creatures which confirms the changes of its parallel worlds in all times. All this is not complicated, but it is attractive. It tells about universal and eternal values. Tigran writes the book of his life just as he sees it.
Manvel Baghdasarian
Art Critic
The stylistics of Tigran Petrosyan’s paintings, similar to the art of his circle, tends to ornamentality. Being an architect ex-professor, he is absolutely careful and analytic. His creative work is a symbiosis of the rational and the sensual, which in its aesthetics comes close to the Masters of Quattrocento and German Renaissance. Simultaneously, Tigran’s works have complex cohesions with the XX century.
I’d wish Tigran was more venturesome, with stronger inner wind, as the principle of his creative culture is obvious. He craves for reviving the space of painting, for making a performance, and this rendering is apparent. As a symbolic phenomenon, it makes us closer to either life theatre or the allegory of a circus.
Which is his way?
This is one of the key questions that the artist will have to answer. Tigran’s considerate and sparing, a little enthusiastic and sad view of life and life theatre is his pursuit of tomorrow.
