Alexandra Manukyan Art

Armenian, American, b. 1963
Alexandra Manukyan (b. 1963) is an Armenian-American artist whose figurative oil paintings merge Old Master techniques with contemporary symbolism and surrealist elements. Following extensive art training in Armenia and a successful two-decade career in fashion and graphic design after immigrating to Los Angeles in 1990, Manukyan transitioned to painting full-time in 2012. Her meticulously rendered works—predominantly in oil on Belgian linen—feature powerful female figures adorned in elaborate costumes personally designed and constructed by the artist. Through a distinctive "dramatic union of contrasts," Manukyan's paintings explore human connection, feminine strength, and humanity's relationship with the natural world. Her work has been widely exhibited at galleries specializing in contemporary representational art, including Abend Gallery, Copro Gallery, and Corey Helford Gallery, and has been recognized through prominent competitions like the Art Renewal Center Salon.

"Another Dress Rehearsal" Oil on Canvas Fantasy Surreal celebrated London artist
By George Underwood
Located in Southampton, NY
In continuing with representing fine artists that are connected to the music industry we are please to announce that we are the only gallery in the United States representing the oil on canvas paintings of acclaimed British artist George Underwood. That is great news for collectors based in the United States. They do not have to pay any import fees or international shipping costs or any international tariffs which are costly. So this is a great opportunity to purchase a work of art by this acclaimed British artist. His paintings have been described as Magical with a touch of Fantasy. When David Bowie, a life long friend of George Underwood, was asked about the paintings of George Underwood, Bowie said "George has, over the years, refined his work to the point where I would put him among the top figurative painters coming out of the UK.... There's a sublime isolation surrounding his subjects that really touches the viewer, the figures being both heroic and vulnerable simultaneously". George Underwood, a life-long friend of David Bowie, were in early bands together and Underwood was asked by Bowie to created the classic cover artwork for David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" album and also for David's "Hunky Dory" album. George felt that his friend artist Terry Pastor would better create the hand colored airbrush look for the album covers so he had Terry create the cover artwork. A fun fact is that David and George were both in the same art class taught by Peter Frampton's Dad when they were youngsters and they remained great friends throughout David's life. I have included some images of Bowie and George Underwood over the years in this listing to show the close relationship they had since they were young lads. This oil painting by George Underwood is titled "Another Dress Rehearsal...
