About
Armenian artist Marina Mamyan comes from painting and works in a wide variety of artistic media. Her aesthetic practice also encompasses a broad spectrum of textile disciplines, from hand-weaving, textile sculpture to textile installation. Mamyan's works are often based on processes of abstraction, i.e. derivations of iconic representational forms and structures. Her tapestries, for instance, contain geometric and structural elements suggestive of traditional modernist lineages, such as those of constructivism or concrete art. With Mamyan, an inherent connection exists in her works between tradition and modernity, but also between sacred and profane, representational and abstract.
