The exhibition "By Deformation into the Present" showcases a collection of new paintings by Aren Shahnazaryan. Within the process of painting, the artist explores various states of the images, allowing him to venture down uncharted artistic paths. In his latest works, Shahnazaryan intuitively reconstructs and deforms both the painted objects as well as the thematic essence of each painting until an originally unforeseen or only vaguely hinted motif emerges. These motifs are intricately woven into the ongoing "noises" of existence through the medium of painting.
