Art Exhibit at The Little Theater of Alexandria

Epic Song from my Baroque series was selected for a special art exhibit at The Little Theater of Alexandria in collaboration with The Art League to coincide with their production of “Is He Dead?”, Mark Twain’s witty send-up of the art world.

Join us for a wine and cheese reception at the theater on Sunday, June 2, from 5–7 pm, and chat with the actors in the play and the artists with work in the exhibit. This event is free and open to the public, although attendees are encouraged to get tickets to the afternoon performance that precedes the reception.

Exhibit Duration: May 18 – June 8

A few words about Epic Song:

Epic Song, 20×20”, mixed media on canvas, is an imaginary landscape inspired by tales of Azerbaijani Ashugs (troubadour musicians). I’ve combined the abstracted/surreal motifs of a village on top of hills with the folk musical instrument, Saz, doorways and vine forms over the color field background. The colorful eclipse is part of a folk tale I’ve borrowed from. I created the general composition digitally, transferred it onto the canvas and painted with acrylic, dry pastel and spray paint.
