| Throughout
his career, whether as an element in a larger |
| composition
or
as a central figure, Barooshian has explored a |
| the human figure instate
of ecstatic dance. Currently, we are |
| showing
representative oils
and etchings of his later Dancer |
| Series, notable for a
marked simplification
of the human form . |
| and intricate abstract pointillist patterns. In these works, a lone
dancer inhabits her own isolated |
| universe of joy and motion.
This celebration is shared and echoed by the
jewel colored world she |
| creates. Barooshian freezes the moment of artistic creation, yet
retains all of
its spontaneity and |
|
transience. Throughout,
these works display Barooshian’s
signature visual density, taming bold |
|
and lyrical organic patterns
against an initially imperceptible backdrop
of geometric order. |
| The
result is a series of paradoxes: explosive grace, complex simplicity,
and ordered
chaos. |
| We will soon
be adding work from Barooshian's earlier
biomorphic dancer series. |
