Human Eternal Passions on Display

The art exhibition "Man's Eternal Passions" takes the challenge to visually express what people are afraid to utter. It reveals people's deepest fears, sufferings, and hopes.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 18, 2006 -- Frankness is a quality that has almost vanished from modern society. People hide their emotions and thoughts behind a smile and eloquent words. They are afraid. Man's mind is so wounded and full of pain that he doesn't want to be touched because it hurts. The art exhibition "Man's Eternal Passions" takes the challenge to visually express what people are afraid to utter. It reveals people's deepest fears, sufferings, and hopes.

"I am not afraid of touching man's hidden emotions," the artist says. "In order to free ourselves from pain and suffering we have to face our demons. After all, being a human being, almost by definition, means to suffer and to hope. Our passions make us human beings."

"Literal"-is perhaps the best word to describe Mr. Ter-Sarkisian's art. Through his works the artist wants to engage in a conversation with the viewer-to understand and to be understood. In such provocative works such as "The Illegitimate," "Abandonment," or "Murdered Innocence" the artist invites the audience to engage in an open dialogue, without fear of unlocking the depths of his soul.

The art show "Man's Eternal Passions" will run three Saturdays on September 9, 16, and 23, 2006 from 11am to 4:30pm at the Los Angeles Public Library, Pico Union Branch, which is located at 1030 South Alvarado Street, Los Angeles, CA 90006. Special display and reception will be held on Saturday, September 16, 7-9pm at United Methodist Church, 1320 New Hampshire Avenue, Los Angeles CA 90006.

Karen Ter-Sarkisian is a native of Armenia, alumnae of the State Pedagogical University's Art School. He presently resides in Los Angeles, California.
