/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On November 5-28, Albemarle National Art Gallery of
London will host the exhibition of two young artists, Luigi Benedicenti
(Italy) and Arshak Sargsyan (Armenia).

In this connection, UK Ambassador to Armenia Charles Londsale organized
reception in honor of Arshak Sargsyan.

Wishing success to the young artist, Ambassador particularly said,
"It’s incredibly hard for artists to get shown in the UK, so it’s a
real tribute to Arshak’s achievements and talent that he has secured
this show at a very serious gallery in London. We wish Arshak enormous
personal success with this show, but I hope it can also pave the way
for other Armenian artists to become better known in the UK and to
arouse interest in Armenia more generally."

In an interview with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, British diplomat
attached much significance to cultural events, such us British rock
musicians’ concert and RA Ambassador’s exhibition in Britain.

Arshak Sargsyan said in turn, "I am sure exhibition will be held in a
good atmosphere. I often visited London, so the idea matured long ago.

This is my first exhibition in London. I want to listen to new opinions
and get to know people who are professionals in the sphere."

Arshak Sargsyan has been awarded Gold Medal for his achievements in
the sphere.

Since 1999, his works have been exhibited throughout the world. Most
recently he completed a residency at New York’s Art Omi International.
