Samvel Hambardzumyan

Left Coast Galleries, Studio City

Solo show

Left Coast Galleries will premier international award winning Armenian artist Samvel Hambardzumyan in his first solo show in three years, featuring never before seen masterpieces, along with a stunning collection of oils, etchings and monotypes. A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, February 8, 2007 from 6 to 9pm at 12324 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, CA 91604.

With a prestigious career, spanning over 30 years, complete with impressive biennial, triennial, and auction records, Samvel Hambardzumyan is a living master. An Armenian treasure, Samvel’s accomplished skill and talent encompass many of the visual art genres. He creates both bold and intimate works through his own unique sense of irony and romance, using integral composition to portray characters which seem both otherworldly and instinctively primal. Featured in the permanent collections of over 15 museums and galleries worldwide, Samvel has gained the respect and notice of the global art community.

From the early 1980’s Samvel was leaving his indelible mark on the art scene in Europe, collecting medals and awards, among them “Best Young Artist” in Armenia (1985), medals from the Lithuania International Art Conference (1984), and “Best Art Work of the Year” in Armenia, an honor which Samvel repeatedly earned four times throughout the 1980’s to 2000. The late eighties began a long and distinguished run in 9 different Biennials and Triennials, where most recently in 2005; Samvel earned the award of the Lorenzo il Magnifico Medici medal at the Florence Biennials.

2005 brought additional honors as Samvel’s work was auctioned and sold through “Bonhams & Butterfields”. With pieces in the permanent collections of museums like the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow to the National Art Gallery of Armenia, and private and national collections spanning the globe, Samvel is an artist of enormous proportion. Despite these honors, the artist continues to plunge into the depths of his heart, soul and experience and create work which speaks to the senses through story woven thoughtfully and with deliberate composition.
