Alexander
Sadoyan,
Bridging the gap between the abstract and reality
Alexander Sadoyan was born in Yerevan, Armenia, in 1954. Being raised and
educated in the former Soviet Union, Sadoyan was marinated in the USSR's many
cultural spices which boasted of world-renowned arts and classic
theatre.
Extensive training, exhibitions, museum placements, catalogs,
housing - everything an artist of Sadoyan's stature and ability could dream of -
were provided to him. He, like other government-sponsored artists, was given
these things in exchange for producing an "acceptable" art form.
But artists
like Sadoyan only had to paint under government directives about 20 percent of
the time. The rest of their energies could be spent rendering subjects of their
own choosing. In addition, because they were so well-trained in drawing as well
as most aspects of art, most could move from figurative work and still-life to
landscapes, portraits, and genre scenes.
In his career, Sadoyan has
brilliantly bridged the gap between the abstract and reality. He has
experimented with different mediums, but currently paints with oil on canvas.
His palette is rich and vibrant. His studio is in Glendale, California, far from
his native Armenia.
Sadoyan paints and sees our human universe with mind and
heart. His art is about God, inner reality, and powerful energies.
"I paint
forms and shapes to convey energy and spiritual condition," he said. "The colors
and rhythms become the theme. The images are put together in a dreamlike
sequence, to reinforce the reality of the metaphysical world."
Forces of
nature and the mysterious inner life of mankind are themes that have been
consistent in Sadoyan's work. "My paintings are inspired by human life," he
says, "in conjunction with the landscape of nature's abstract color-forms. With
association of color and shapes, I strive to communicate my feelings and convey
interpersonal emotions."
Sadoyan has participated in many international art
exhibitions and his works may be found in private collections throughout the
United States, France, Germany, Canada, Russia, Switzerland, China and Norway.
He will soon be displayed at several galleries in La Jolla, Palm Desert, Carmel
and Scottsdale, California.
