La Galerie Tommy Zen vous present...
Soirée hommage à Armand Tatossian
le 9 février de 17h à 21 h.
En complément, de son exposition collective, "L'atelier" du 11 javier au 10 mars 2018, la Galerie Tommy Zen fera également revivre une partie de l’atelier d’Armand Tatossian, artiste emblématique décédé en 2012, en présentant son chevalet, sa palette et quelques objets choisis, prêtés pour l’occasion par la famille du peintre.
Nous échangerons sur la vie et l'oeuvre d'Armand Tatossian. Cette soirée hommage se voudra informelle et chaleureuse. L'entrée sera libre. Un bar sera à votre disposition.
Quel contexte mène l’artiste jusqu’à l’œuvre? Cette question est au cœur de l’exposition L’atelier présentée par la Galerie Tommy Zen du 11 janvier au 10 mars 2018.
Les 14 artistes invités proposent des œuvres caractéristiques de leur travail et leur vision de l’atelier à travers de courts textes et des photos. Les propositions sont riches et diversifiées et parfois même étonnantes.
L’atelier est le creuset de la création et est rattaché à l’univers intime de l’artiste, bien qu’il reste le plus souvent mystérieux pour son public. Il peut être un lieu physique, un rapport au monde, un état d'esprit, un rituel. Il porte en lui plusieurs ambivalences et est le théâtre de bien des batailles. Cette exposition propose une réflexion sur le lien existant entre différentes démarches créatives et le contexte dans lesquelles les œuvres sont créées.

An ode to Fall by Armand Tatossian
Text by Mary Tatossian
There is something mystically alluring about Quebec’s
fleeting yet spectacular Fall. Thankfully Armand overpowering obsession
with color & light somehow allowed him to capture that same magic for the
viewing pleasure of future generations to come.
But interestingly, when you hold one of Armand’s
canvases in your hands, like an optical illusion, up close the same magical painting
appears as unrelated globs of paint, indiscriminately flung together in some silly,
whimsical manner. Irrational splotches of turquoise, mauve, teal and vermilion
flung haphazardly in what appears to be a tree, an impulsive magenta line and cobalt
shadow constitutes the trunk. Dribbles of fuchsia juxtaposed with lime green. You
think- surely it must be in error... But take a few steps back and it all enchantingly
mingles and merges giving life, depth and dimension to a spectacular awestruck landscape.
Colors that seemed random are anything but. I would often joke with my brother,
saying he was myopic. He worked so quickly and rarely took steps back, so how
did he know it would all come together so perfectly.
I believe PhD Art Historian, Rigas Bertos baptized
my brother the “Master of Light” for this very reason back the late 70’s, in
the dawn of Armand’s career. Dr. Bertos eloquently described Armand’s work as follows:
In fact, if I didn’t know better, I would swear that John Donne was thinking of one of my brother’s Fall oil canvas when he wrote “The Autumnal” in the 17th Century: “No spring, nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face."“Magnificent colors, brought into strong relation through robust yet discreet compositional structures, seem to be the dominant element of his canvases. Colors strong sharply defined and ready to move at the same time. A continuous oscillation, an incessant movement, a dynamic potential of change constitute some of the principal virtues of his (Tatossian’s) “oeuvre”. Nothing is arbitrary: The moving force, the real protagonist of the drama of colors and shapes is always Light, the elusive ever changing Creator of things, which Armand has always succeeded to encapsulate in his paintings."
Without further ado, I will let you be the judge and present: An Ode to Fall by Armand Tatossian, RCA
Your feedback and impressions are always welcome.

Losing Inspiration by By Ashliegh Gehl for the Herald de Paris September 3, 2012
Three years ago, I found a beautifully written tribute to Armand by Ashleigh Gehl. Both touched and intrigued, I reached out to Ms. Gehl to find out which painting inspired her eloquent article.
Today, it brings me great pleasure to share with you, both the tribute and the work of art behind the inspiration...

BELLEVILLE (Herald de Paris) — The backdrop of my laptop is wallpapered with a
photograph of Gabriel García Márquez. He’s looking dapper. Dressed in a white suit
with shoes to match, the only splash of colour comes from a bright yellow shirt
with a collar up to his ears. I imagine it cotton, light on the skin.

A mes amis francophone (Merci Jacqueline-Siranouche Markarian pour la traduction)
C'était il ya exactement un an ,aujourd'hui, que j'ai eu la grande douleur de perdre mon grand frère. Mon frère me manque plus que les mots ne peuvent dire .... Perdre quelqu'un qu'on aime n'est jamais facile, mais quand leur vie est emportée à un âge encore jeune, c'est encore beaucoup plus difficile. Je peux parler de toutes ses réalisations et sa carrière, mais n'importe qui peut trouver cette information sur le net ... A la place, je voudrais donner un aperçu sur l'homme, le frère, l'ami, le père qui vivait derrière sa peinture et de ses épais coups de pinceau... La vie de mon frère était l'art, tout tournait autour cet art.. De son enfance à Alexandrie, en Egypte, et pendant tout son parcours jusqu'à sa mort à Montréal 23 Août 2012, Armand a vécu une vie qui était très remplie, compliquée et parfois chaotique. Armand a consacré toute sa vie aux arts en tant qu'artiste. Il a vécu comme un artiste, il a peint comme un artiste, et il est mort tragiquement comme un artiste.
