On March 9, a unique exhibition opened in the foyer of the Faculty of Art Education of ASPU. The authors of the exhibits that stand out with their uniqueness, lyricism, artistic taste and the most complex techniques are women.
Twenty-three works by 16 authors are presented at the exhibition dedicated to the Women's Month, which begins on 8 March, International Women’s Day, and continues through to the Beauty and Motherhood Day observance on 7 April.
Dean of the Faculty Ara Hakobyan says the exhibition is really unique; he is astonished by the quality of the exhibits and the experience of the authors.
He considers the exhibition unprecedented: for the first time, the exhibition has brought together female artist pedagogues, among them teachers of the ASPU High School, who create unique pieces of art in difficult times.
Pottery, arts and crafts, batik, tapestry, carpet weaving, painti, etc. Professor Hakobyan enumerates the genres of the exhibits and adds that art theory reaches its peak when an artist theorist interacts with the material in practice as well.
“Man is given the gift of creation by God. The same is true of the power to think and reproduce. When a woman creates, it gives a special charm to the work. A woman is an emotional creature," says artist Artur Martirosyan. To create means to open up one’s soul, to share with others, to show one’s inner world with all its warmth.
He is sure that those present enjoy that warmness. He is happy to see that women live and create next to male authors, together they spread the power of art, changing the world, making it kinder and more beautiful.
Painter Sevada Sargsyan says the exhibition is yet another victory of the Faculty; it reminds [viewers] that it is necessary and important to love.
At the exhibition, Hripsime Maronyan, a lecturer at the Chair of Fine Arts, presents clothes with Armenian Marash embroidery. She says combining the subtlety of the veil with a schematic approach she has been able to have an extremely feminine image.
“Unique and colorful:” she said when describing the works of her colleagues and added that ‘the authors have found themselves.’
Naira Mkhitaryan, the author of "Shadows of the Past" and "Eternity" batik works, who uses different techniques to create art, confesses her loves fine art. She does not miss the opportunity to create in all branches.
When speaking about the differences between male and female authors, she says thanks to her senses a woman feels life and the world around her more strongly. "That is why works created by women are more emotional and stronger, in line with the feelings conveyed through their fingers," she said.
The exhibition will run until March 21.
