Karen Ohanyan is a painter working with series and periods, and this exhibition [The Dreamer] is an attempt to defend painting as an idea of organization of life, beyond the consumerist notions of the market.
With memories, painting in a dreamy way, with rebellion, infinite love for painting and art, depicting people important to him for art, Karen Ohanyan's conviction in these works is to not consider art as an unimportant, remote thing in a changing and mobile world, where the artist is forced by the market to act in the name of a fixed personality.
The idea of an artist is to dream, as is the idea of anarchism. He considers painting as an important way to organize and preserve life.
This exhibition [The Dreamer] is an attempt to change the fashionable ways of performing and perceiving art that standardizes life and to find better ways to have a political and public life through painting, and it is carried out in a space outside the structures that distance art from life.
