YEREVAN. – An exhibition of over sixty creations from twelve renowned French-Armenian painters kicked off in Armenia’s capital city Yerevan on Friday (PHOTOS).  

The event, which is entitled “French-Armenian Art of Painting,” displays exceptional creations.   

Numerous guests were on hand at the official opening of the exhibition. 

In the words of event organizer Aram Sargsyan, this exhibition is a result of a year’s effort.

“We were able to make the appropriate arrangements with the heirs of the prominent representatives of the French-Armenian art of painting, who [that is, the heirs] provided us with several works. Also, we were able to include a number of works from the local private collectors, for temporary use.”  

“The French-Armenian art of painting is one of the strongest branches of Armenian culture, the Armenian art of painting, and this is the reason why we decided to present this collection to the art community,” Sargsyan noted, and added that this collection has a very high level, virtually a museum level.      

The exhibition will be open until May 7.
