Armen Eloyan (1966) - Praying
Armen Eloyan (1966, Yerevan, Armenia) is an internationally recognized artist of Armenian descent who lives and works in Switzerland and Belgium. He studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam and has since built a career with solo and group exhibitions in Europe, the U. S. and Asia, among others at galleries such as Timothy Taylor Gallery.
Praying (1994) is an early work on paper in which Eloyan approaches religious or existential themes from his characteristic distorted figures. The seemingly simple gesture of praying takes on a double meaning for him: between devotion and irony, vulnerability and estrangement. Through his free line work, strong contours and layered use of materials, an image emerges that is both direct and uncomfortable.
As in much of his oeuvre, Eloyan here balances humor and seriousness. Praying invites the viewer to reflect on human vulnerability, faith and the sometimes absurd aspects of our existence.
Dimensions of the work without a frame: 70 x 97 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore we use restorers from the trade association: Restauratoren Nederland. If you would like to make use of this, of course we would be glad to hear.
