About the Show:

​ 

This fall, Krikor Momdjian will present recent works at the Pembroke Art Fund in his newest exhibition 'Life Map of a Wanderer  — Transcultural Relations'.

 

Through these works, we shall experience 50 years of development of his work. These paintings will reveal his quest for understanding the relations between colours, forms, and numbers. At the same time, they will reflect the influences of different cultural identities he embodies— Dutch, Lebanese, and Armenian— as well as the influences of his education in three cities— Jerusalem, Florence, and Paris. The exhibition's central work is a painted fold-out book titled 'Artist's Book'— Ode to Life!  Կենաց. Krikor's recent special publication 'Letters to Vincent / Brieven aan Vincent' dedicated to his soulmate Vincent van Gogh will also be presented.

 

Krikor will lecture on  the 15th of November at Pembroke College, with the title of this lecture also being 'Life Map of a Wanderer - Transcultural Relations'. During this lecture, Krikor will speak about the exhibition as well as how these works relate to his personal life experiences and the meaning of art in his daily life. In addition, Krikor will talk about a recent series of works made after he returned to Drenthe, a place in the Netherlands where Krikor lived after leaving Paris in 1979 to start his professional life as a visual artist and poet. Krikor will also expand upon the influence of Vincent Van Gogh and Piet Mondrian in this period of his life and its role in helping him connect to nature.

 

Krikor's life motto is: To Life!
