Artem Melik-Azariants
2004e

Artem Melik-Azariants is not in a hurry to get rid of principals and great opportunities of classical art. His still- lifes, sharpened solutions in plastic manners are not only academic hints, but already attempts to express his life acception with the help of that genre: rich colors, rather dark - Tbilisi school genre still-life’s with fish , flowers, apples, old Tbilisi, old books and steam engines are the objects he paints.
Series of works created in absolutely different manner, make us believe that here the artist constructs the art as a life narration, a story about his solved and unsolved problems. Not refusing the richness of traditional classical art, the artist is seeking for harmonious interrelations with different modern arts close to primitivism, surrealism and metaphysics. His primitivism is sometimes very alike to childish carelessness, naivety, tranquility from what the artist is being confused. That’s how he paints his favorite toy in his childhood” Steam engine with the camel”.
In his works Artem Melik-Azariants uses greatly the symbolic language.
He creates his imaginary world tree, fantastic tree of life, which needs light, air and space. We distinguish little figures, sometimes childish, sometimes death.
The artist Melik-Azariants feels the life with great passion and dynamics and that’s the power that pushes him to make real new ideas and new imaginary reflections.
