MARTIN BAROOSHIAN
Martin Barooshian
“To me, painting in oil on canvas and printmaking go hand in hand. Frequently, a print image will trigger off a painting idea and vice versa.”
Martin Barooshian’s visual vocabulary is a complexity of means. With his technical expertise firmly established, Barooshian has created, over the last decade, many fine and compelling works in printmaking as well as in oils.
The oil paintings of Martin Barooshian convey effectively the artist’s preoccupations with subconscious imagery and the unexplored realms of the mind. Brilliant colors and amorphous shapes merge in a visceral and organic way. His work eludes a precise, rational, simplified definition as multiple ideas merge on the canvas, even while clearly recognizable images appear for us to see.
Mystery, humor, romance, eroticism, lyricism, line, color and the subconscious mind are all part of the artistic concerns of Martin Barooshian. He is a technician and a thinker. He acknowledges the work of others and yet has innumerable ideas of his own to contend with and make visible. His art is not voguish or predictable. His art invites us and encourages a contemplative spirit as we peer more closely and carefully. In the graphic arts as well as in oils, Martin Barooshian delights in the known and the unknown, and he explores both worlds with inspired technical finesse.
