Jean Kazandjian Джан Казанджян
Biography:
Kazandjian's origins and education brought him into contact with three different cultures.
His roots are in the Armenian tradition, his high school education introduced him to French culture, while his years spent at university opened him to the influence of the English-speaking world. These various influences have combined to foster in his work the qualities of patience and sensibility, knowledge and wisdom.
After his " freshman arts " year in 1960, Kazandjian was unanimously awarded the first prize for his submission in a special competitive exhibition for tapestry, organized by the Sursock Museum of Beirut in 1962. Spurred on by his desire to become familiar with the techniques and the materials peculiar to the cultural world in which he had grown up, he embarked on studies in design. In 1968 he gained a master's degree from ENSAD in Paris, a well-known publicly-funded school for applied arts. In the aftermath of the political and social turbulence of 1968 Paris, Kazandjian came to a clearer sense of his capacities as an artist. The beginning of his career as a painter can thus be located in the year 1969. Recognition of Kazandjian's talent in the Paris art-world was immediate. The late sixties and early seventies was a period during which he met painters as remarkable and as diverse as Giorgio de Chirico, Salvador Dali, Cremonini, Francis Bacon, Calder.
The effect of this exposure to such a diversity of influences and artistic projects was to consolidate his sense of the need to remain faithful to the artistic interrogations proper to him.
Kazandjian has exhibited his works in several European countries and also in Canada and the United States.
