At Stephanie’s now available for sale the work of CARZOU. “When I work form nature or in my studio, I leave the world of reality for a sort of religious realm where my hand seems to obey impulses form an invisible force. And when I am seated before my easel, I disappear into a universe different form ours; it’s like entering into prayer”. _ Jean CARZOU (1907-2000) Carzou pursues his work in the great tradition of painting. He labors alone, a witness to his times, uninfluenced by passing fashions, demonstrating originality and individuality separate form the evolution of contemporary art. His compositions, his figures, and his landscapes evolve in limbo between dream and reality. Railroad tracks, enigmatic figures, unknown ports all appear out of nowhere, and mysterious domains surround dreamlike figures often encased in iron armor. Crumbling palaces by faraway sea sides reveal nostalgia for the past and anxiety for the future, while mercenary armies march into grand halls where women stand adorned for strange ceremonies.##jean Artounian #carzou #artofcarzou #francearmenie #armenianpainter #stephaniesgallery #art #fineart #oilpainting #artforhome #artwork (at Stephanie's Art Gallery & Custom Framing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CleOXk8PpTs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
