About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In American Taste, Mayrig Simonjan elevates an everyday icon into a work of art. A towering cheeseburger sits proudly at the centre of the canvas, its sesame bun glowing under the artist’s masterful use of oil on board. Layers of crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and cool cucumber are offset by a generous slice of melting cheddar, its golden sheen dripping luxuriously over the patty below. The painting transforms a familiar comfort food into a symbol of cultural appetite and shared indulgence. Executed in a realism still life style, Simonjan employs meticulous detail and atmospheric depth. The dark background recalls the tradition of Old Master still lifes, yet the contemporary subject matter gives it a playful twist. The burger is presented almost like a royal portrait, imbued with grandeur and dignity through its monumental scale and carefully staged presentation. The colour palette enhances this duality—rich browns and ambers in the bun and meat create warmth, while the cool greens of the vegetables and the bright red of the tomato provide striking contrast. The luminous yellows of the cheese serve as the focal point, catching the eye and drawing the composition together. With American Taste, Simonjan invites viewers to consider the beauty of the everyday and the artistry hidden within the ordinary. We offer complimentary worldwide shipping and cover all tariffs and import taxes for this artwork. Artist bio: Mayrig Simonjan is a professional painter renowned for his exceptional skill in creating realistic artworks that capture the beauty of God's nature and the essence of everyday objects. Born with a passion for detail and precision, Simonjan’s works have garnered significant attention and recognition in both solo and group exhibitions at the national level. Graduating from the esteemed ArtEZ Academy of Arts in Zwolle, Netherlands, in 2010, Simonjan honed his craft in realism, where he developed a particular interest in still life paintings. His works often showcase vibrant, lifelike depictions of fruit, emphasizing their natural juiciness and the rich colors that define them. Simonjan’s ability to express textures with unparalleled detail is also evident in his portrayals of materials like wood and glass, capturing their essence with a mastery of light and shadow. A defining feature of Simonjan's paintings is his exceptional use of light. As he often states, "light changes every perspective," and this belief shapes the way he approaches his art. The light in his works not only enhances the textures and forms but also brings a sense of life and energy to his compositions. In addition to his formal education, Simonjan participated in a prestigious Masterclass on ‘Old Masters’ at the Wackers Academy in Amsterdam in 2017, further refining his technique and deepening his understanding of classical painting methods. Simonjan’s artworks have found homes in private collections across Europe, the USA, Asia, and Australia, affirming his growing international presence in the world of fine art. His dedication to capturing the beauty of the world around him continues to resonate with art collectors and admirers worldwide.
