My own work The American idol
has remained as a gift to the school
The American Idol, Sept.2011, 180cm high
Armenia – serious or folly?

During my stay in Armenia, as Artist in Residence in the
MSKH high school of fine arts, I experienced adventures of both.
Following, some pictures for your enjoyment, or may be, thoughts.
 
Mount Ararat (as seen from the hostel’s window on Oct. 2nd 2011)
a sign and icon of Armenia, is now in the hands of Turkey…

Some of the post Soviet housing monsters around Yerevan are too long to be taken in one shot. 
The large size panoramic renderings, as well as the better photographs on this page,
were taken by Reece C. Whitehead, my new friend and colleague painter.

Other living-edifices are just smaller blocks, like the ones surrounding the school


The local church, in the Bangladesh neighbourhood,
Is surrounded by them, too


The monastery in Geghard is quite a different style of architecture…

    
Some claim my Donkey – the American idol – was influenced by the monastery’s monkey

 
Another pair of ornaments – in wood and stone – are found in the above monastery


 

The Noravank monastery
Is doubtlessly one of the most magnificent and calming  places I have been to


Even those convincing photos (Reece’s) cannot submit the vastness and serenity of the place


  Some beauties and other animals


This is where I used to hang out at nights...


 


This couple brings us down to earth – Yerevan’s market

במסגרת תכנית Artist in Residence
 בבית הספר לאמנות שליד האוניברסיטה הפתוחה בירוואן, ארמניה,
ערכתי לתלמידיו סדנאות בפיסול קרמי.

משמאל: עבודתי החלום האמריקני
 שניתנה כתרומה לבית הספר
ומספר רשמים מן הארץ ותושביה.
