Objects of Memory Installation

About the Item

120 objects Denise Yaghmourian is sculptor, painter and installation artist. Her forms are rooted in past art movements and styles, yet they resonate with artistic concerns of today. The simplicity of her surfaces reveals a material-based sensibility while evoking deeper concepts tied to the human psyche. Yaghmourian’s practice often involves the alteration of sentimental items from her past in an effort to portray the way memories are stored and dealt with. Attachment, acceptance of loss, and newfound appreciations all play critical roles in her depictions of memory. Denise Yaghmourian studied art at Arizona State University and works as a full time artist. She has exhibited her work at The Tucson Museum of Art, Phoenix Art Museum, Ceres Gallery in NYC, Bogena Galerie in Saint Paul de Vence, France and SOHO20 Chelsea Gallery in NYC. Her work is included in the public collections of Banner Desert Samaritan Hospital and The Institute for Mental health Research.

Days Sliding By
By Louise Blyton
Located in Phoenix, AZ
b. Melbourne, Australia Louise Blyton is a reductive artist exploring the romance of raw linen and dry pigment. The artist’s geometrically shaped canvases explore color, light, and form through the visual language of Reductivism, an aesthetic style characterized by streamlined compositions, restricted color, and a reduction of form and means. Identifying with Reductivism’s simplicity, Blyton’s shaped canvases and three-dimensional wall sculptures elevate craftsmanship and process, achieving a compositional clarity that unifies color and form. To construct her works, Blyton covers custom built balsa wood stretchers with raw linen, adorning them with layers of pure pigment or acrylic paint. Each pigment reacts differently to raw linen and requires a specific number of coats to reach the artist’s desired level of saturation. As the artist explains, “I’m always looking for a kind of quietness and harmony when making my works even if the color being used is loud.” The artist creates her own spatial dimension by manipulating the shape of the canvas, which escapes from the flat surface of the wall, confusing its role as a painting. “Rather than responding to the architecture they ask particular attributes of the building to act as support,” as some works appear to climb the surface of the walls, while others straddle columns and corners. Louise Blyton lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia in 1988. Her works are held in significant corporate and private collections in Australia, China, France, United Kingdom, Portugal, and the United States. Since 2000, Blyton has run an artist supply store called, St. Luke Artist Colourman, which specializes in professional paint and raw materials, with her husband David Coles.
