MAN’S ETERNAL PASSIONS
Solo Show by
KAREN TER-SARKISIAN
Frankness is a quality that has almost vanished from modern society. People hide their emotions and thoughts behind a smile and eloquent words. They are afraid. Man’s mind is so wounded and full of pain that they don’t want to be touched because it hurts. The art exhibition Man’s Eternal Passions takes the challenge to visually express what people are afraid to utter. It reveals people’s deepest fears, grieves, and hopes.
“I am not afraid of touching man’s hidden emotions,” the artist says. “In order to free ourselves from pain and suffering we have to face our demons. After all, being a human being almost by definition means to suffer and to hope. Our passions make us human beings.”
“LITERAL”-this perhaps is the best word to describe Mr. Ter-Sarkisian’
The Illegitimate, Abandonment, or Murdered Innocence the artist invites the audience to an open dialog, without fear unlocking the depths of his soul.
