AKHSAR MURIEV – MAGNIFIQUE VOYAGE, ou L’HISTOIRE D’UN HOMME

by Նախագծեր
The Modern Art Museum of Yerevan and Anton Levahin present a SOLO EXHIBITION OF AKHSAR MURIEV, “MAGNIFIQUE VOYAGE, ou L’HISTOIRE D’UN HOMME” This exhibition marks the first time Muriev’s artworks will be displayed in Armenia, running from September 6 to October 27, 2024.

The exhibition offers a visual narrative of the creative journey of a lyrical hero, depicted in paintings, and reveals the artist’s unique interpretation of his travels, which shape his personal story. The use of French in the exhibition title connects Muriev’s works with Marcel Proust’s reflections in “À la recherche du temps perdu” underscoringthe nostalgic tone and philosophical depth of the exhibition.

The Modern Art Museum of Yerevan (MAMY) will showcase Muriev’s paintings created in 2023-2024, including large scale canvases and triptychs such as “Magnifique Voyage”, “Sunny Dance”, “Gruppo di Famiglia in un Interno”, and “Dynamic Composition in Three Parts”.

These artworks are unified into a cohesive concept within the exhibition space, where their imagery and reflections engage in a vibrant dialogue, creating a mesmerizing synergy.

The exhibition is curated by Anton Levahin, who has previously collaborated with the Modern Art Museum of Yerevan on various cultural projects. Levahin and his company, A&A Worldwide, partnered with the National Pavilion of the Republic of Armenia at the 60th Venice Biennale of Contemporary Art.

The vernissage will take place on September 5, 2024, at 18:00 at the Modern Art Museum of Yerevan, located at 7 Mesrop Mashtots Ave. (admission by invitation). The exhibition will be open to visitors from September 6 to October 27, 2024, daily from 11:00 to 18:00 (the box office closes at 17:30), except on Mondays.

AKHSAR MURIEV
Born in Vladikavkaz, Akhsar Muriev received a degree in fine arts from the Institute of Fashion and Design. In 2004, he began his career in the fashion industry. Shortly thereafter, Luciano Benetton, the founder of the Benetton Group and a renowned Italian art connoisseur, recognized his talent. In 2013, Muriev began collaborating with Anton Levahin, participating in cultural projects on the international art scene.

Muriev is also actively engaged in teaching, sharing his vision and experience with young talents through academic courses on graphics, design, and composition. In 2017, while studying at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, he also participated in excavations at the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. In Italy, Muriev studied religious painting and the art of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, with a particular focus on the cultural heritage of the early Christian church. He developed various techniques to create new works of art.

AKHSAR MURIEV’S ARTISTIC STYLE
Akhsar Muriev’s pictorial language is distinctive and easily recognizable. Expressive, dense, and dynamic, his manner of painting, combined with bold color choices, makes his artworks instantly identifiable. His use of color contrasts forms within the optical space of the canvas, imbuing them with deep emotional energy. Muriev’s method, approaching abstraction, liberates form, drawing attention through its simplicity and expressiveness. This, in turn, encourages thoughtful engagement with the painting and immersion in its imagery, revealing his artistic concepts.

ANTON LEVAHIN
Anton Levahin graduated with a degree in law from Kazan State University. After gaining extensive experience in international finance, he founded A&A Worldwide and then decided to return to his true passion — art. His years in Italy, particularly his time at the Académie de France à Rome, founded in 1666 and located since 1803 at the Villa Medici, significantly transformed his artistic capabilities.

In 2015, Levahin’s artworks were featured in the retrospective exhibition of Vladislav Mamyshev-Monroe at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art. Levahin has also produced numerous music programs, founded international festivals, and created TV projects dedicated to classical music and fine arts. On the Historical Stage of the Bolshoi Theater of Russia, a production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s opera “Don Giovanni ossia Il Dissoluto punito” was presented under Levahin’s artistic direction.

He has collaborated with leading artists and international institutions for many years, presenting exhibition projects at prestigious events such as the Venice Biennale of Contemporary Art.

Alexei Papoyan – Solo Exhibition

by Նախագծեր

In the rich realm of contemporary Armenian sculpture, Alexei Papoyan holds a distinctive place. Through the use of dual meanings in sculptural language, metaphorical, allegorical, and grotesque techniques, he is able to reconstitute the profound essence of the human and animal worlds, revealing the contradictions between good and evil and finding their plastic parallels and symbols. This is not a narrative or descriptive language but a condensed mass of artistic means based on the real images of humans and animals.

The sculptor’s artistic interests are very broad. Humor and the grotesque, the perpetual clashes of good and evil, the absurdity of life and the meaning of existence—these are the issues that have concerned him throughout his creative life.

The exhibition will be open from March 7 to March 26, inclusive.

The Metamorphosis of Aphrodite’s Stones: Narine Arakelyan’s Journey from Mythology to the Metaverse

by Նախագծեր

Narine Arakelyan invites you on an extraordinary journey with her solo exhibition, “The Metamorphosis of Aphrodite’s Stones.” This story blends nature, mythology, and digital innovation, creating an intriguing art project that also engages with tradition.

At the heart of this exhibition is a deep allegory that links history with contemporary reality. Arakelyan has drawn inspiration for this series from the legend of “Aphrodite’s Stone,” which is firmly rooted in Greek mythology. Was this the place where Aphrodite bathed after her meetings with Hephaestus, or where she met her beloved Adonis?

The central feature of the exhibition is a captivating performance filmed in “Aphrodite’s Stone,” where Narine herself enters the depths of the sea and emerges reborn. This artistic act transcends time, connecting the past and the present, and serves as a symbol of metamorphosis, both for the artist and for life in general.

The stones sanctified by the Aphrodite legend become tangible relics of nature. For the artist, they serve as a renewable resource and a canvas to explore the intersection of art and technology. These stones embody her vision— a fusion of the natural world and the digital realm, and a tribute to the harmony of myth and modernity.

Narine Arakelyan’s creative path involves a social commentary and exploration of gender identity. Through performance, installation, painting, sculpture, video art, and environmental art, she gives voice to social justice.

“The Metamorphosis of Aphrodite’s Stones” challenges our perceptions, inviting us to reflect on the enduring power of myth, the limitless potential of technology, and the transformative nature of art.

Exhibition Curator: Anton Levakhin
Text Coordinator: AB

The exhibition will take place from January 30 to March 3, 2024.
