In September 2001 Pharos Publishers produced a major monograph on the works of Sarkis Hamalbashian, one of Armenia’s leading contemporary artists. This attractive book, entitled simply Sarkis, includes 28 colour plates of the artist’s works and a critical essay by Jane Burton, Curator of Interpretation at Tate Modern.
Sarkis was born in Gyumri and lives and works in the capital Yerevan. His neo-expressionist style incorporates a compendium of different modes of representation with a mix of abstract streaks and drips of oil paint, carefully stenciled outlines, delicate drawings and photographs depicting a world in turmoil. Images cohere formally, seeming to imply narrative, but then unravel and slip away as though half-remembered in a dream proving as fallible as any system by which we attempt to structure our existence. He has had solo exhibitions in London, Basel and Paris and has participated in group exhibitions in Russia, Germany, Finland and the USA. His works can be found in museums and private collections.
