Armen Eloyan
‘Welcome home where we are’
24/01/2004 t/m 11/04/2004

Armen Eloyan (Yerevan, Armenia, 1966) comes from Armenia but now lives and works in The Hague. He produces watercolours and oil paintings of disturbing subjects. Out of his thick layers of paint emerge landscapes, masochistic male figures and torturers, which are as seductive as they appalling. In his work, historical events alternate with incidents from his own past. In order to do full justice to Eloyan’s sadistic universe, it has been decided to recreate his studio temporarily in the GEM. For three whole months, the artist will paint, eat and sleep there, in the midst of his work to the accompaniment of his favourite ear-splitting music. The recent work that Eloyan will be showing at the GEM is dominated by a fascination with extreme rightwing political movements and religious fundamentalism.
