AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Armen Eloyan (born 1966, Yerevan, Armenia) is an internationally recognized artist of Armenian origin who lives and works in Switzerland and Belgium. He studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam and has since built a career with solo and group exhibitions in Europe, the US and Asia, including at galleries such as Timothy Taylor Gallery.

Praying (1994) is an early work on paper in which Eloyan approaches religious or existential themes from his characteristic distorted figures. The seemingly simple gesture of praying takes on an ambivalent charge for him: between devotion and irony, vulnerability and estrangement. Through his free line, strong contours and layered use of materials, an image emerges that is both direct and uncomfortable.

As in much of his oeuvre, Eloyan here balances between humor and seriousness. Praying invites the viewer to reflect on human vulnerability, faith and the sometimes absurd aspects of our existence.

Dimensions of the work unframed: 34 x 31 cm
Signed and dated

Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing shop, celebrating its 85th anniversary year. We also make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this service, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
