YEREVAN, JUNE 3, ARMENPRESS: Two French cities of Lyon and Marseille
will host a trade exhibition of 168 paintings by Aram Ivanian, a member
of the Armenian Astghik (Starlet) organization of disabled children,
which he painted by using computer technologies.
The Armenian-French Association of Disabled People (ALFA) was very
instrumental in helping organize this exhibition that will travel
to France later this month. Rosa Bashinian, a French citizen who
is the chairwoman of the ALFA is now in Armenia. She said she hopes
all the paintings will sell and the raised proceeds will be added to
the funds, being collected for construction of Hope Shelter Center,
run by Astghik.
“There is a peculiar simplicity in the works of Aram Ivanian,
typical only of children, but he is able to make masterly daring
generalizations. His works are many-style, sometimes unexpected and
courageous,” Levon Nersisian, the chairman of Astghik said.
