YEREVAN, AUGUST 26, NOYAN TAPAN. Artour Oshakantsi, painter, the founder of abstractional naturalism represented more than thirty canvases at the personal exhibition opened on August 26 in the Armenian Union of the cultural ties with abroad. Works, dedicated to the Armenian Genocide, Armenian Cause, as well as to Nature and human relations, occupied a special place in the exhibition. Artour Oshakantsi was born in 1953 in the village of Oshakan, now in the Aragatsotn Marz of Armenia. In the Soviet times, the painter was one of the first artists who, with the help of abstractionism, tried to express his political agression. "I use abstract art as a means of expressing my political views and protest", says the painter, who has been living in London since 1992. According to the painter Arayik Smbatian, Oshakantsi's works are very unique.

"Having lived for a long time in London, he did not lose his national identity in art, moreover, he created a tendency that has its influence on foreign painters as well", says Mr. Smbatian. Oshakantsi's works have been exhibited in different European countries and in the United States. At present, many of the painter's works are kept in private collections. Another personal exhibition of Oshakantsi will be held in September, in the Queen's Hall of Justice in London, where more than 60 works, created during the last years, will be exhibited.
