Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to present an exhibition of recent works on paper by Charles Garabedian.

For many years Garabedian has provided a spell-binding pictorial world where dramatic narratives find new life in skewed forms and a vivid palette. Mythology, history and opera inform and provide the tone for stories taking place in the artist’s signature enchanted landscapes.

The gallery is delighted to show a group of new mixed media works on paper that combine bright color, metallic surfaces, building shapes and human figures. These archetypal elements are delivered in a loose, hand-hewn style that provides the fleeting essence of the scene, circumventing any need for perspective or realism.

Garabedian has found influences in both classical and primitive art, and in recent years has found new respect for the magical simplicity of Paul Klee’s small works.

Garabedian has maintained his studio in Los Angeles for over forty years, exhibiting internationally. His works can be found in the collections of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles; the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach; the Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University; the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven.
